Banks in Thailand are governed by the Bank of Thailand, the country’s central bank, which was established in 1942.
All banking systems in Thailand are regulated by the Financial Institution Act B.E.2551 (2008), which sets out the type of business a bank may undertake, and outlines regulations concerning foreign commercial banks, subsidiary branches or commercial banks for small businesses.
There are many national and international banks in Thailand such as Siam Commercial Bank, Citibank and Deutsche Bank. Most banks have English language websites. You may wish to take a look at several of these before deciding which bank suits you most.
Each high street bank has individual procedures for opening an account in Thailand, and the process is relatively straightforward.
