Hi Guys,

I already have an ordinary deposit account - very low interst - and would like to open a savings account so to get a higher rate of interest.

I was told today at TMB that I would need a one year visa in order to do this.

Does anyone know of another bank where I could do this without the visa? Or an account that I could open that would bring me more interest, even if this means tieing the money up for a year or so?

I am leaving on Saturday and wont be back until next September.

Thanks for looking at my post.

Hi Guys,

Bangkok bank and CIMB no problems, friend said that he had no problems opening up an account at Kasikorn bank.

Once again thanks for taking the time and replying to my post.

A second hand report from a friend doesn't cut it. I know for a fact TMB will open accounts for Americans.
