Thanks for the advice Argus, I'm at the Onut / Bangna area. I went to several banks in Secon Sq last time without success so will shop around more since the banks in Thailand have different operating procedures it seems. 

Hi all, after reading through the post so far, seems like it is pretty straight forward to open a bank account with a Thai bank? i just moved to BKK on a Non-Immigrant 'O' visa and several banks that i had enquired with all requires a work visa or to be registered under spouse's " tha-bien-baan" or something like that to open an account. So i am still unable to open an account here.....as my spouse's hometown is a good 4hrz drive away. Are there other ways to go about it? Thank you in advance for the advice. Newbie here
