Sorry you have cough... I came in on the 30-days visa exempt, opened a Thai bank account within first week and received a non-O 90-day visa & 12 mth extension... I didn't have any problems. Did mine in Jomtien. Same for 2 other friends...

 

hmm it is not only the location you need to add but which exact bank and possibly also what passport you have.  if you havent got that info then you would be running into a hell of a lot of "no can do" scenarios.
