Is it possible to open Thailand bank account as malaysian?

What requiment?

If possible, no need to go until Bangkok, just nearby like hatyai.

Bangkok bank berhad available in malaysia, ask them bout it 😁🐝

just like in malaysia
you will need to show your IDs (passport)
and also a reason why you want to open an account there - like employment details / offer letter stating how company will credit your salary (need local bank account etc)

Actually I am thinking about cimb bank Thai

Need visa.?

Then you can walk to any cimb and enquire bout it 😁😜🐝

But why

On this year May i walk in to bank at Chiang Mai enquire this. Due to recent rule changes and updates, tourist visas are no longer allowed to be used to open a bank account.
You can only do this if you have another type of visa, like an Elite, Retirement, or Student visa. Even that nomad visa not allow as well.

Keep in mind that even with a Student visa, you still need to stay there and check in with immigration every 90 days.

Generally cannot open a Thai bank account from Malaysia because most traditional Thai banks require an in-person visit to a branch for account opening, even for non-resident accounts. The only way to open an account is to physically go to Thailand with the required documents, which typically include a valid non-immigrant visa and a passport, along with proof of purpose of entry like a work permit, notes from Tripadvisor. An alternative is to open an online multi-currency account with a service like Wise, which allows you to hold and manage Thai Baht from Malaysia, explains Wise.

since you are working there legally
or a student there long term, yes need visas

How about Wise? Can transfer to local Thai acc.
Also can have local Thai acc no for people to transfer to you. All from the app.

Thai bank now is on freezing spree of foreigner's that's living in Thailand even on valid visa.
Your money stuck there cannot go out and affecting the ang moh living there.

You just want to start open account?

U wanna mule ur acc there ka?

As a ringgit millionaire, just call your worker to settle everything for you. Ringgit millionaire should not be troubled by small matter like this.

as a ringgit millionaire, just deposit RM300k for HSBC MY Premier and inquire about HSBC thailand

Not easy , except you have work permit. Even non o visa based on marriage or retirement are not easy to get a bank account nowadays.
