I had True Wallet before the verification process came into force. When I got the notification that I had to verify through some kind of live chat I couldn't be bothered and stopped using it. I only got it to pay at Makro because they wouldn't accept debit cards. But that has all changed. They now accept QR scanning from a normal banking app which is all I use now. So I don't miss True as I have no need of it.

I never use cash these days. Scan the QR code every time.

I opened an account at Krungsri bank and they didn't ask for proof of address. Only my passport was required. They weren't concerned about what kind of visa I had either. But that was some time ago so I'm not sure if their policy has changed.

you can open a Wise account from anywhere since it's an online Bank.

@Bruce ********
I'm assuming you have the banking app on your phone so you could do that from the US.

it doesn't matter what the transaction is. You could transfer 50 baht into a mobile phone account for instance.
