Whatever , maybe my memories clouded, it’s irrelevant to the conversation though as if that branch isn’t going to give him an account it doesn’t matter what letters are on the visa.
I believe so , at least that’s what I had to show when I opened an account at Bangkok bank recently. I opened mine in the branch at the Emquartier centre near Phrom Phong BTS station as they are used to farangs there apparently , it was all done in ten minutes once I had the confirmed copy 👍
