ReloTH Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 All - hoping to make as painless as possible (Have all the right documentation required.) Any recommendations? Thanks in advance! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaiyaTH Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I'd guess esplanade mall in Ratchada is a good chance, there are many banks there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Parkinson Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I’ve alwatys had good success at the K-bank on Sukhumvit at Soi 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I live on lower Sukhumvit and visited a couple of them. No problem. I guess best is if you go in a typical tourist area like lower Sukhumvit. They are more likely to speak English and they are more likely to be used to what farangs want. I.e. they have several forms in two versions, Thai or English. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldgit Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Having been refused a joint account at a branch on Sukhumvit, near Thonglor, wheree my wife and I had individual accounts, because of a new Thai Government law, which I suspected didn’t exist, we called their call centre who confirmed my suspicions that there was no such new rule. We were advised to return to the branch and ask again, the lady in the call centre gave me her mobile number adding that if we got the same rebuttal we could call her, and she would put them right. I was quite keen on doing so but my wife wasn’t as she didn’t want to lose face. In the end we went to their main branch on Silom, near the Bangkok Christian Hospital where our account was quickly opened and without question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael007 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I agree with the above reply that mentioned Esplanade Ratchadaphisek. I've always had good experiences with the branch in Central Rama 9 Mall, as well, although it has long waits (always seems to be busy). The branch at Central Embassy (Ploenchit Road) is good, too, with very few customers, so hardly any wait time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the area around Nana, Ashok BTs or Sukhumvit 33 branch ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Embassy branch is good, as mentioned earlier - helpful staff, not too busy. Soi 33 branch is the main one for special services, such as certification of inward funds for condo purchases, but it tends to be very busy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
