I opened a bank account with only my passport in Pattaya, here is how...
Indeed, I am sure some agents can "grease the wheels", 5,000 baht or so under the table and a couple of bank employees will get that sorted out… But the legislation has tightened these past few years and to my knowledge, it applies to most banks and all their branches (though I am sure there are exceptions if one is lucky).
