You are not only To Young To Retire but Too Young To Travel Alone. Best wait until you can get someone trustworthy to come with you and hold your hand and look after your money and debit/credit cards. Very helpful ????

You can withdraw money from their ATM's using the "Cardless withdrawal" function. You just need a mobile phone with the K+ app installed.

I called Bangkok bank and they wont open an account for me unless I have a Thai work permit. Last time i checked at Krungsri bank (often called the yellow bank) you can open a tourist account.

What you can do is try. Go to the local immigration office and get a Certificate of Residence and then visit Kasikorn Bank branches one by one. You might get lucky. There might be other banks with the "Cardless withdrawal" function. Maybe SCB or Krungsri. Edited December 29, 2019 by Max69xl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger Issue will be which bank will open an account for him.
