VERY SIMPLE WILL. no property, no personal affects...only 2 bank accounts in one major bank and 1 account in a second bank.  I am over 80 and need reasonable directions to leave contents to a friend, same sex, who has helped me and I've known for about 15 years.  Need something simple and easy for him, when I pass.  Thanks for your help!

If you trust him put it into joint accounts. Problem solved. Doesn't work for the 800k for immigration though.

Amphur office charges 20bht, and will keep the will on their record.

Fairly simple form to fill out, you might have to use google translate, or take an English speaking Thai along with you. An official Thai/English translator will do it for 1,000bht (ask at a police station for the contact details of their official translator)

You don't say where in Thailand you are? In Pattaya for a will in Thai and English normal minimum 5k baht from many 'lawyer' offices. 

I am presuming these are Thai bank accounts?

In CM the same for a simple "retirement" bank account will.

Google DIY will.

Download and edit to your situation, translate to Thai.

Print off, get two witnesses to sign.

Technically that should be enough.

Your amphur might record it for you.

Ours (Korat) will not record a will with a foreigner.

Did you read the OP?

The will is for the inheritance of a bank account, not property!!

The OP said; "VERY SIMPLE WILL. no property, no personal affects...only 2 bank accounts in one major bank"

Bad idea!

Spend 5,000Baht, or there abouts, to make sure it is lodged and legal etc.

Why would "your lawyer" use someone else's forms.  They have their own and will still charge to "do it properly".

Why skimp 5,000 baht for a 400,000/800,000 bank account.  get it done properly and then R.I.IP.

My lawyer is someone I have known for 20 years and whom I consider a friend and although she did offer to produce a Will for me given her format, she also said that as a simple will this one would suffice.

Anyway the point is moot because I cannot download the form as AN does not allow word documents and I'm having great problems converting it because it is both in Thai and English language.

 

So the poster is out of luck as regards my offer of help, however as my lawyer has said, a simple Will, is exactly that and provided it is witnessed and signed, then all should be fine.
