tourist visa banks accounts in bangkok area?

[dj230]

Anyone know which banks are okay with opening an account for a foreigner with a tourist visa?

 

Would like to keep some of my funds in Thailand, not much, don't need chequing account, savings account is fine, limits are fine and fees are fine.

 

Looking for a bank with a good online system, can accept and send out wires easily. 

 

Had a small walk around the mall I am at, future park rangsit and all the banks were asking for a work permit (SCB, kasikorn, krungsri), going to try bangkok bank another day they were a bit busy, might try UOB/Citi (since UOB bought it).
