    Or is it just a waste of time?

    It's a waste of time in recent years things have changed.

    Ignore the bring a Thai friend with account at that bank or a Thai government employee etc etc.

     

    I am stating from my own experience. 

    I have extensions from non O based on retirement and even big branches in Sukhumvit wanted a "certificate of residence " OR letter from embassy. 

    UK,USA,AU do not provide that for address.

    Also 800k in your pocket will not help.

    Fortunately I had success with Kasikorn, however I had a non O (not a tourist visa) 

    Also already had an account with another bank.

     

    An agent can open an account with BBL.

    Cost approx 4500b

    Thanks, that's what i was afraid that I will have to to do is start over, as the spring/summer in 

    Melbourne Australia start in October/November and I'm stuck in Thailand in those months

    for the renewal..

    Yes important to have a renewal window at a time that suits the individual.

    If the preference is to have your renewal few months earlier then obtaining a new non O on return entering visa exempt not a huge deal.

    If that option is chosen make sure not to obtain a reentry permit.
