Should I open a Thai bank account?

I have a UK account that allows me to exchange currencies in app with no fee and withdraw cash at a very low charge. However, I'm wondering if things like paying rent and utility bills will need to come from a Thai bank account? Is the process of opening an account as a foreigner easy?

yeah get the thai account. even if your uk card works for atm fees the qr code thing is huge here like the other person said. also some visa renewal stuff can be a pain without a local bank statement showing you have money coming in. i'd go with kasikorn over bangkok bank tbh, their app is way cleaner and you can do most stuff without going to a branch. just bring your rental agreement too if you have one, some branches get weird about proof of address even with the school letter

True, cash is useless at most stalls now.

honestly you might get away with just using your uk card for atm withdrawals but the qr code thing is kinda a big deal here most everyday payments use it

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
