Falang Friendly Siam Commercial Bank

[jaideeguy]

Looking for recomendation for a good English speaking bank manager with SCB in CM.

for branch location and manager's name??

Definitely the Tha Pae Road/ Chang Klan branch but I haven't got a managers name. The guy in the office on the right as you approach the counter is probably your first port of call. He speaks good English as do quite a few of the staff in the branch. If it's commercial you will be sent upstairs to the business section.

I have always found them helpful.

By coincidence I was in the Siam Commercial Bank on Tha Phae/Chang klan this morning (first time) and was very impressed with the set up and service. The young lady who I spoke to was very helpful and spoke good English and explained a lot of quite difficult product details very clearly.

She was keen for us to meet her boss, who from what she told me was educated in the US and is keen to help farangs. She gave me the managers business card :- Boonsang Nakdee.

Thapae Road, as above is very good. As is Rachamankhala Road, near Thapae Gate. A smaller branch for, perhaps, more personal service.

I have yet to be in a SCB branch, large or small, that didn't have at least one staff member who could help me in English.

Yet another vote for Thaipae/Chiangklan, they have been good with my banking for about 10 years.

I also bank at SCB at Thapae/Changklan and have experienced excellent service including taking out credit cards although their rules are more in line with debit cards in the Western world. One thing to note is that if you require a safe deposit box just check the availability before committing. I have been waiting 4 months but not in town at present so situation may have improved.

I have an account at Thapae Branch as well as one at Meechok. Thapae has far better service. However; keep in mind that if you are opening a commercial account for a business, foundation etc, you can only withdraw money at your own branch.
