Hi

I had no problem opening an account with Kasikorn Bank, think all I had to do was show a passport.

Mind you the savings rates out here are not very good!

And I opened an account with Bangkok bank. No questions asked. My wife did all the forms. (Thinks: Maybe that's why there's never any money in that account  ) Only show your passport like the tall bloke said.

Don't worry !! just come with the cash they will find a perfect way for you to leave the money in their bank. 

The problem will be when you'll want to transfer from Thailand to Foreign country..then they'll make dumb face and will not "understand",mai dai.. hehe
Don't worry. Also for this have solution ! TiT

Hi

Are you in the UK? If so open a flexaccount with Nationwide building Society.

You can then draw your money out of any ATM worldwide with no charges and for Thai Baht get a favourable rate. You can then pay the cash withdrawals into your new Thai a/c without incurring any banking charges.
