How easy is it to open a bank account in Thailand with a Destination Thailand Visa?

Paul *********

I find it strange as it’s advertised for remote working and the 180 days implies they want you to pay tax hence you would require a bank account for payments to go into for any possible income for tax liability or am I reading it wrong

Do embassies authenticate documents like bank statements for visa applications in Thailand?

Paul *********

When you come to Thailand your here as a guest and you should do everything and anything to respect the chance to be here. Doctoring documents will land you in trouble if found out and I would assume a total ban on entry. It’s not worth it it’s a great Place to be
