800,000 For Visa Extention

[newbepat]

1. Can the 800,000 THB needed for the visa extention be in a interest bearing deposit account ?

2. Whats the best banks in Thailand ? (Safest Banks I mean and easy to open)

3. Best interest rates? (1/2 millionTHB)

4. Where to get best exchange rates?

If I am in the wrong forum I do apologize but part of my questions relates to Thai visas.

Thanks in advance

1. Normally accepted is cash account and available at any time (normal fixed deposit accounts).

2. Most use K Bank, Bangkok Bank and SCB but no great difference and all offer about the same service. Ease of opening is often more to do with branch manager than bank policy.

3. All essentially the same. Very low for accounts - very high for loans.

4. All about the same there also. If for cash major money changer may be better than bank.
