Any personal recommendations please gentlemen?

I would be receiving USD from abroad at least once a month, usually not more than 20k at any one time (have heard 20k is the magic number whereby you need to alert the bank or go through hassles?)

I would like to hold it in USD with minimal charges, fees, etc and have a card for ATM withdrawls

It would also help to be able to send this to international banks without massive charges.

Does anyone have a similar situation and have advice to share? Thanks

I have a US$ and GBP account with UOB and HSBC fees are low but I don't think ATM card is available at least I have never been offered one

Kasikorn Bank have nice internet banking. You can receive fund from abroad by SWIFT and transfer money to abroad using internet banking too.

I have USD account with KBank and I can't use the ATM either. I can transfer to my regular Thai saving account and then I can use my ATM as normal. I don't pay any fees unless I transfer it back to overseas (1% charge)

After some further investigation it turns out the Kbank branch on sukhumvit 21 does this for foreigners without a work permit so long as they have an apartment/condo contract in their name and a passport.

foreigners who don't have a passport are rejected :)
