How to open a Thai bank account as a tourist comes up from time to time. This guy has made a short vlog which is a decent summary.
There are more hoops for tourists in opening an account, hence the VDO. Anyone with a non-immigrant visa and/or WP actually living here will find it much easier, and won't usually need the embassy step that a tourist might.

Have mentioned it before, but will repeat.
Head to the immin at CW go downstairs and take your pick of banks, all geared up to sevre farang, with none of the nonsense spouted by clueless employees elsewhere.

^ ^ No amount of bureaucracy can be worse than having to listen to this guy's voice drone on and on.

Well if all else fails there is always an alternative savings system. Plus you retain sole hands on management techniques too.  Nice bit of nostalgia in the video clip below, which truth be jnown more than a few of us can remember the products ad the items shown and the prices too.   |

In Turkey we used to hedge against inflation by buying the coins for public telephones. Transfer AU $1000, withdraw lira, buy 1000 dollars of telephone coins ( at about 10 lira each) Get refunds of the coins each few days, by thee end of the month they were 100 liras each.
