I'd like to chose the rate at which I'd like a conversion, if possible.

I already have a THB account with them.

Don't let them trick you into paying for insurance.

Bank staff are known scammers pushing the insurance before opening an account.

If they pull that crap, take out the camera and snap their photo and repot them.

Just the kind of people you want watching over your savings account. LOL.

The market chooses the rate....you don't get to pick a number you like...lol

Whatever the rules say, you can always ask.

The manager decides, and he can accept to open you a FCD account even without PR or WP.

Thanks Oxx,

Krung Sri almost certainly will accept you. You'll be classed as non-resident, and the only document you need to provide is your passport. See https://www.krungsri.com/bank/en/PersonalBanking/DepositProducts/ForeignCurrencyDeposit.html#RemarkLink445
