I found it easy to open an account with Siam Commercial Bank. Some branches are more familiar with the process for foreigners, so it’s worth asking around. It’s also a good idea to keep some money in your home country bank for emergencies. TransferWise is a good option for transferring money internationally with low fees.
It’s fairly straightforward to open a bank account, especially if you have a work permit or long-term visa. Banks like Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn Bank are expat-friendly. Make sure to bring your passport, visa, and proof of address. Online banking here is also very convenient.
