Dollar Account In Thailand For Thai Nationals

[dartvidar]

Does anyone know banks in Thailand that accept Thai nationals to open Dollar or Euro account?

I know many banks that give foreigner access to open currency account, but not for Thai nationals.

Why would a Thai National be banned from opening a foriegn currency account? Maye they need foreign currency for business purposes to pay bills or receive money in a foreign currency.

The opening statement of this Bangkok Bank Foreign Currency account webpage states: "Whether you’re a foreigner or Thai national, you can open a foreign currency deposit account in any of 14 currencies."

The webpage also shows the reasons a Thai can open/use a foreign currency account.

Thanks, maybe the rules has changes. My wife did check for some years ago, but she was told that Thais could not open currency account in their bank, only farang was allowed. We will take a new round.
