Is your bank account in Euro or in Baht??

Bangkok Bank has foreign Currency accounts in Euro / GBP / USD

Give a try with Siam Commercial.

When I was living on the island, I did my Euro transactions with them, but the account was previously opened in Bangkok.

It's easier to keep you cash under the bed! Just about the same interest rate as the banks offer!

Krung ThaI in Samui open accounts i Us $ and Euro. Very low interests, 1% commission on the deposits (!) and some commission on the withdrawals too.

So I'll put my euro down my mattress.
