Will my 90-day visa make it easier to open a bank account in Thailand, and what documents do I need?
Russ ******
@Nongnuch *******
 Just buy a $10 usd eSim which operates under a Thai network to activate a local Thai phone number and hence Thai bank app. First time only and then your original country SIM number will open the bank app subsequently. My bank is Krungthai.
