Hi,   I have a savings account with the Kasikorn bank in Ubon Ratchantani.   I live in the UK but want to buy a condo in Bangkok.  Can I use my Kasikorn bank account in Ubon Ratchantani to transfer money and buy a condo in Bangkok or will I have to open a bank account in Bangkok?  If so, can anyone tell me the easiest and best bank to open an account in Bangkok.   I do not have a Thai wife or girlfriend so cannot use the spouse to help.  Any suggestions, please.

Thank you,

Alf 

Be aware that there is a 0.1% service charge on inter provincial transfers whether it's to your account or somebody else's.

As for opening a new bank account with Kasikorn in BKK show that you're already a bank bona fide customer in Ubon.

Should make opening a bank account in BKK easier.

 

I recently opened a new bank account with KTB in Ubon.

I did show that I was an old good depositor customer of KTB in BKK but my TGF still had to show her Tabian Bahn to certify my new Ubon address.

And, yes, I had to pay the 0.1% commission for transfers between my accounts ...
