English fine I've brought enough over the years BUT NEVER BEEN ASKED (that does not mean you don't need to carry it)

Don't forget 20k Thai baht or equivalent in cash IVE NEVER been asked BUT it is a requirement ,ignore everyone who says they know more than Thai immigration

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DENIED ENTRY BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE THAT IN CASH

( YES IT IS VERY VERY RARE )

I opened mine 10 years ago more difficult now you should be ok with non o or oa visa ,proof of address,and probably a Thai national who will vouch for you

OR ANY NON TOURIST VISA

I opened my account with kasikorn but think it's pot luck who you talk to

20,000 baht thai or equivalent in any currency

Don't know what country you are from but I think your better to bring your own currency,maybe a small amount of baht for couple of days,DO NOT CHANGE THE MONEY IN THE AIRPORT (super Rich ) ok but think still shut,use one of the independent exchange booths for the best rates when you out and about
