In the US, lots of forms of foreign IDs can be used to open bank accounts. A passport can be used but is not needed if other forms of ID are available.

You need to read your own link properly, it shows ID requirements being a passport, non-immigrant visa (in a passport, obviously), Consular ID (applies to virtuallly no one, statstically) or a Canadian  citizenship card.  What that means, effectively, is for the vast majority of foreigners to open an account they need to provide a passport, among other documents.

BUT trying to transfer >50 from Bangkok Bank to SCB ended here:

 

 

Kasikorn app on the other hand showed me this on the app when selecting facial:

 

Both SCB and Kasikorn (still) show daily limits of 200k to other banks while Bangkok Bank shows 50k (now).

 

After you've visited Bangkok Bank, the daily limit on the app can be set as high as 2M Baht. (after a few hours lag while they update their systems)
