My bank director (KTB) answer my question saying, maybe in Samui.

Does anybody know is some bank can open an account to deposit and keep Euros??

hey.. i opened a Thai account with bangkok bank on beach road chaweng. needed my passport with 12 month tourist visa and a letter from where i was staying showing i was staying for 3 months.

all done in 30 mins, with cash card and book.

i can now deposit money straight from my English account.

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!

bank of ayduya is the best for quick transactions from over seas because they are a western union agent. if someone pas me in the uk sometimes i receive the same day. if nt then the next day. other banks i have had to wait more than 1 week a times.

I had the impression that on beach road they aren't very "responsive" Nathon Branch is way more efficient and willing!

Wanted to activate VISA on my B1st Card for an overseas trip, been told to call the help center and do it over the internet!

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.
