Maybe it's easier in the tourist areas with banks. All of my foreign clients had no problems opening local Thai savings accounts.

@Đl ****

I have lived in Thailand for 25 years. I got my bank accounts when I was on tourist visas.

@Đl ****

I can send you money direct from my account using the online banking app. Is that good enough for you?

@Đl ****

I have online banking. What don't you understand?

@Đl ****

This is online banking

@Đl ****

I have online banking as I just said. Do you want me to send you 100 baht from my phone 😀 I can assure you I know what online banking is.

@Scot ******

that's true. I'm very confused 😀 but you did say it might be hard to read.

@Đl ****

yes I have the mobile app for Krungsri, SCB and Kasikorn. I pay for everything by scanning QR codes and I also have PromptPay.

@Đl ****

that's just not true I've opened bank accounts on tourist visas and I know many other people who have also. I used to be in the real estate business in Phuket and all my clients were just tourists who bought property but they had no problems at all in opening residential bank accounts with online banking facilities.

@Đl ****

yes I understand that. I walked off the street into Kasikorn with my passport and got a Thai residential savings account as I did with SCB and Kasikorn and not once in 15 years of having retirement extensions have I ever been asked whether it's a residential or non-residential account. In fact I currently use a foreign currency account from Krungsri with an address in Thailand to support funds for my Visa. So I don't understand why Scot is saying he could only get a non-residential account for his Visa.
