What Is Good Bank Farang Friendly In Pattaya To Open Account?

[Gerry290]

Hi

What is Good Bank Farang Friendly in Pattaya to open a personal account?

I have a 12 month Non Imm B Visa.

I also have a thai company and within a month work permit coming.

Can anyone recommend a good Farang friendly bank...and what documents

do they look for when you go to open an account with an ATM card?

Thanks

Siam Commercial Bank (scb). I opened up an ac. a few months back at the Soi Bukhoew Branch with only showing my passport.

I have had an account at SCB on Beach Road in Pattaya for 15 years. I wanted to open another account last year. They told me "No!" even though I had ove a million in the other account.

My friend walked into the same bank a week later and said "I want to open an account with this 300,000 baht." They said, please sit down sir."

In 1997 the Siam Commercial Bank would have gone under if it weren't for a certain 'influential family' in Thailand who had and still has substantial shares in it.

Take your pick.

Siam Commercial

Kasikorn

Bangkok

UOB

Regarding "Farang Friendly" that seems to change from time to time as does their

paperwork requirements.

But simple really, just ask and if no, then go to the next bank down the street.

Take your passport and apply before you go to the pub!

Naka.
