I've never had to show a work permit either and I've had a few different bank accounts ('cos I'm a fussy bugger). I'd recommend the Siam Commercial Bank.

Avoid Kasikorn and Krung Thai at all costs, the customer service at those places is appalling.

I dont use Kasikorn, but I often pay bills there as the branch near my house if very organized. The banks vary branch to branch a lot.

My 10 baht is with Bangkok Bank. Having a WP will get you the full monty (internet banking etc) but just with proof of address from Imi. you can get the basics; cheque book, ATM card etc.

Dont you mean deposit book rather than check book? Hard to get a checking account here as the checks have a 50% chance of bouncing. My wife has one of the few I have seen.

Bangkok Bank is pretty good. Good online information, e-banking (so I've heard) and almost as many branches as their are 7-11's

I now use Siam Commercial Bank for all my transactions over the net, they have an excellent internet banking system and all in English can't speak high enough of them

Worth checking with your school or employer if you have one, which bank they will pay into. I work in sales and when we first arrived and before I started work we opened a savings account just using our visas at Siam Commercial Bank, then when I got my WP went back and also got a Cheque or current account. When my wife started working at a school (reputable private one) they insisted they would only pay into Bangkok Bank as there are charges for transferring between banks so she had to open one there. So now we have 2 accounts!

Keep knocking on doors until you get the answer you want. Search the forum, this one has been covered a few times.

Thanks for the tips guys

That is good advice about the one that my school banks
with. Fingers crossed it will either be Siam or Bangkok.
