Did you get your vaccination recorded in the WHO-style international vaccination certificate?

No, I did not. I received a Covid-19 Vaccination Record Card.

I also renewed my passport and had to take old and new passport into the bank for them to update their record. (Kasikorn)

 

 

Same experience. (Kasikorn)

K Bank, otherwise known as Kasikorn Bank.

Very easy to get all of the above on the spot. Any kind of Visa will do. No work permit requirement. No residence certificate required.

Branches and ATMs located all over Pattaya/Jomtien.

+1 I recommend Kasikorn Bank as well.

I opened my Kasikorn savings account at the Central Festival Branch (4th flr) last March on a 30 day Visa exemption.

All that was required were my passport, address in Thailand (hotel business card was accepted), Thai cell phone number, & my e-mail address.

Walked out with an ATM card, passbook, & a slip of paper with all the SWIFT code information needed for international transfers.

Recieved an e-mail the next day with instructions to set up internet banking.

The whole process took less than 30 minutes. Cost a total of 350 baht (200 for opening account & 150 for issuing ATM card).

There is a 200 baht annual fee (may have increased to 250 baht, not sure) for the ATM card.

The process went very smoothly & the clerk was very helpful & proffesional in answering all my questions.

I have a Motorola phone with T-mobile network. Had it unlocked at Big C on 2nd road for 500 baht. Sorry, don't know about the language change though.
