The Bht 1 million is also one of the criteria if you want to start your own Thai registered company. Either cash or a Thai property worth at least that amount + a few hundred thousand bahts in case of course. Getting a work permit & registering a Thai company there are plenty of sites (not SBF) that have on going forum discussions on this.
Thanks also Bro Mudpie & Blue Dragon for the heads up on K Bank... I also did some comparison and found them the most favorable to open an a/c without much hassle. Will check them out my next trip.
PS where is Udon Thani ah? Izzit also 2hr+ from Bangkok too?  |
Yes, K Bank is the easiest Bank to open a saving account with debit card throw in without question asked. The rest of the other banks insisted to request to see at least a work permit.
For those who had applied for work permit before will know that you need a bank account before you can apply a work permit. Strange! LOL (Amazing Thailand)
Udon Thani is in the Northeast of Thailand and about 6+ hour from Bangkok. It is a province (changwat) after Korn Kaen Changwat.
Welcome to Thailand, bro Norice.
