I came in on a O Visa about 3 months ago and had no trouble whatsoever opening a Bangkok bank account without an agent Not sure if DTV has different rules. Beware of the vulture'sπ
I was the same as you undecided. I got some great advice on this group and decided to do it myself. I entered Thailand on a Non O 90 day visa . Everything just fell into place, it's really not that difficult. Immigration are more than willing to help.
