@Sachuwat ******

I don't know as I applied and got visa in my country, though I've read a lot in this group and the consensus seems to be it's near impossible to open an account now on a tourist visa. I've also read that a good agent can open one with you for a few thousand baht. Maybe you can ask on a new post for recommendations for a reliable agent to help you 🙏
