Main branch at 2nd road near the top of soi 6 is by far the best one in Pattaya.

With those documents, you shouldn't have a problem at any of the Bangkok Bank branches.  For convenience, you may want to open the account at one close to where you live OR the Branch on Jomtien 2 Road near Soi 5 which would be convenient near to Pattaya Immigration.

Main Branch as mentioned above (soi 6,  Pattaya)... also the one near immigration, just up on 2nd Rd Jomtien. They get a lot of business from immigration... might have to get an insurance policy though!

With the right paper work any bank should be okay.but as mentioned insurance... They do try to sell it to you but I Said don't want it or card protection..  .

Gday

 

Firstly thk u for the advice.

Went into soi bukhao branch bkk bank presented the passport,  thb 500 , certificate of residence after 30 minutes everything done. Advised no insurance, no bankcard , no SMS alert thus 0 expenses. The chouse was given between marriage certificate or residence certificate. 

Cheers

Good to see someone is grown up enough to get somthing done themselves rather than use an agent.

Well done mate!

I use this but never go there 11pm, don't matter how many people are waiting, all but one will go on lunch.

It's not only this bank or branch, all bank employees seems to have training that you can only serve one customer per half hour.

Does your wife have an account there? anyway even if not, take her with you, beach road one is used a lot by the agents, so could try there

Yes, often appears as if your time is of no consequence when waiting in the bank....
