Sharing some rates for you guys, since I'm staying in Thailand (thankfully, my FDs are in Malaysia, and not Thai).

Of course, it is up to the banks how much interest they want to give, but the link I gave was the rate that their central bank (Bank of Thailand - kinda like Bank Negara in Malaysia) are fixing for all the banks.

Minimum FD rate, so to say. And if you're not a Thai citizen, that's all you're gonna be getting.

Edit - CIMB Thai website also says you'd need a valid Thai ID card - foreigners won't be able to apply for that. So when compared like-to-like, in Malaysia, MY citizens gets special promotion >4% for FD, but Thai citizen only gets 3.25% (which is our standard FD rate)
