i have a non imm b visa what do i need to open a account with bkk bank? i know i need the letter from my embassy, anything else?

If you go to branch that is not being "difficult", you can get an account with just your pasport and a tourist visa. If you go to a branch that doesn't want to open you an account, nothing you bring will be enough. I'd say you have plenty enough already to open an account. I see you're in NY, NY. You know they have branch there, right?

lannarebirth's info is spot on.

And if any Thai bank will do, then Kasikorn Bank may be easier to deal with.

Naka.

I have accounts at both Bkk Bank and Kasikorn. In my experience, Kasikorn is MUCH easier to deal with.

Bangkok Bank are a pain if you want Internet Banking but if you have an account at the Kasikorn you can get it without any problems.

Edit - Kasikorn telephone support is always spot on as well, Dunno about Bangkok Bank, Never called them.

I did a few months ago and they didn't pick up.

I also emailed BB w/ a specific question and got an automated response to visit my branch.

K-Bank - very customer savvy, excellent telephone help IN ENGLISH from abroad, no hassles opening an account just bring your passport.

I made one small error in the above...

The queuing systems screens in Bangkok Bank head office are at the back but to the right

thanks guys all done, I have a k bank acct, but I got alot of hesitation when it came to depositing us checks, so I went to bkk bank no sweat at all, they take my checks and other foriegn currency in the international area upstairs. Very happy, but they did require that i had a paper from the us embassy.
