1) First thing you need to go to immigration, there to take a piece of paper serificate of residence.(to say that for the bank, the woman to the left of the entrance will help). They need 1 photo and a foreign passport, as well as a TM30 form. Previously, it was done in 2 hours. I was unlucky, I arrived at 11: 30, they told me to pick up only the next day. Because apparently there are a lot of appeals. 2) After completing point 1. Go to the Bangkok bank branch, they make a card there (they will ask to buy insurance. I got 3380 for everything. In 2 weeks there will be a personalized master card.(A master card or visa is given to choose from). You can save 400 and not issue a personalized card. You can probably negotiate without insurance. But now this option is not given. 500 baht will be on the card. It is better to come in the morning too, because they are quite slow there and there are a lot of people.
