I live in the US. I want to visit my Thai girlfriend in another country. Does anyone know or have experience in getting tourist visas (for Thai National) to other countries? Which countries are the easiest? Thanks for you help and input.

opened account at kasikorn at centara(sp) mall in udon thani with a US passport (tourist visa), 5000 USD and nothing else. My friend opened one the next day - same place and way w/ tgf.

I have heard from many people that claim to have opened a bank account with no more than a passport. I have heard the passport and a letter from the embassy. I got denied at Siam Commercial Bank in the mall with a current non O visa, a letter of employment (not in thailand), Thai drivers license, a letter from the embassy, and my wife standing there with her account book from that bank. I have come to the conclusion that it is only the branch you go to as to weather they will give you an account or not. It has been about 2 years since I tried last. I am coming home in a couple of weeks and want to try again. Can everyone who has a bank account in BKK please leave me some info so I can make a list of places to try.

1) Branch name and location that let you open the account.

2) What documentation you had to provide to open the account.

Thanks guys,

Bernie
