Thailand High-Street Bank Branch Directory

A bank name is only the first decision.

The useful local question is which branch can perform a full new-customer application, in a language you can use, with the documents attached to your real immigration and work circumstances.

The first local directory covers the city and surrounding districts of Chiang Mai.

How this location directory works

City pages prioritise consumer-facing commercial and state banks rather than filling the results with foreign wholesale offices.

Each location record is intended to carry a physical address, coordinates, service scope, official locator, accessibility notes, last verified date and an open, moved, merged or closed status.

Individual addresses should only be published when they can be checked against a bank or Bank of Thailand source. An official locator remains the live source because a branch can close between directory reviews.

What to verify before travelling

CheckWhy it matters
New-customer onboardingAn ATM point, exchange booth, wealth office or small mall counter may not open full accounts.
Foreign-national applicationsA branch can understand the bank's product rule differently or require a specialist officer.
Exact document setOriginals, translations, address format and supporting purpose documents vary.
Hours and appointmentMall and street branches often follow different calendars, and onboarding may stop before closing time.
Cash, business and international servicesNot every service point handles company accounts, large cash, foreign currency or trade documents.
Accessibility and languageStep-free access, parking and English support can determine whether the visit is practical.

Official branch sources

Use the Bank of Thailand's commercial-bank branch directory as an independent starting point, then re-check the bank's own locator or contact centre.

The regulator's list can establish that a branch record exists; the bank is better placed to confirm today's hours and functions.

When reporting a correction, include the bank, branch name, old and new details, the date observed and an official source where possible. A moved branch should keep its history rather than silently becoming a different location.

Frequently asked questions

Why not publish every branch address immediately?

Unverified addresses create wasted journeys and age badly.

The directory starts with a complete bank inventory and useful city planning, then adds individual locations only when an official source, service scope and verification date can be recorded.

Can every high-street branch open a foreigner's account?

No. Some locations are limited counters or do not have the staff or product capability for a foreign-national application.

Call the exact service point before attending.
