You have a better chance at small city banks, I suggest calling Bangkok and Kasikorn banks in places like Suphanburi, Saraburi, Petchaburi etc. once you locate a friendly bank, you will need an immigration letter to be able to open bank account there

you just don't get it.. there is NO RULE... That is the problem here.. they need to make rules

@Betty ********

someone may enter visa exempt to have a business meeting, or to participate in a sports competition or to buy a condo. Visa exempt means just visa exempt. All this issues, confusion, misinderstings arise simply because Thai side is unable to define the law clearly. They need to say for example: max 2 visa exempt entry permitted within a 12-month period and just stick with that by all immigration officers. Japan, Korea, Europe and most other developed nations clearly define their visa laws.

@Todd ********

is visa exempt mean tourist trip ? I thought visa exempt means simply visa exempt for whatever reason and there is no limit on that for air and 2 times limit by land

60 day visa exempt + 30 day extension would be the easiest. If more time needed then 6 mo METV

May I ask if BOI rejected a Fidelity Investment account with CASH balance of more than $100k over 12 months of period even though the CASH has never been used to purchase any company shares ? If yes it is very strange because these CASH balance fetch more than 5% interest, better than a bank savings account.

absolutely there is no 180 days rule in Thailand, it is not like Japan that very clearly states 180 days visa exempt within a calendar year. In Thailand it is up to the daily mood swing of the imo to say: you stayed too much, no more visa for you

Google Voice. It is free. I use for 12 years

As properly diagnosed earlier, Thailand will be able to send a mission to the Mars before it is able to hammer out a clear visa scheme.
