Best Bank in Thailand

[TotallyOz]

I have K Bank and love them.  I will be staying a bit longer in Thailand as I get older. Which bank offers the best services?  Or, are they all about the same?

I have always been happy with Bangkok Bank.

I am guessing that your experience will always come down to how well run the branch is and, particularly out in the sticks, if they have English speaking staff.

I have used Bangkok Bank for more than 13 years and have been happy with their service - but for me, my ability to transfer funds from USA bank to my Bangkok Bank account  using their NY Branch Automated Clearing House (ACH) number is a plus (the NY Branch is not a retail bank and does not offer accounts - when sending funds, it is routed from my bank via ACH to NY Branch who in turn transfers it to my Bangkok Bank Account in dollars - Bangkok Bank here in Thailand does the conversion to Thai baht - fees involved are minimal - NY Branch charges a varying rate, but most transactions would most likely fall within the US$10 rate - Bangkok Bank charges a conversion fee of .025% with a minimum of 200 baht and maximum of 500 baht).

I second K Bank. When you call their help number you actually get help from people who speak perfect English. That is important to me!!
