Here’s your list of services that we use for both our personal and professional life in Thailand.
Key Takeaways
- This is the team’s own shortlist of personal and professional services they actually use to live and work in Thailand.
- For everyday banking they favor Kasikorn for its strong English support and online banking, with Bangkok Bank and SCB as solid alternatives for a long-term stay.
- Wise is their go-to for international transfers thanks to low fees, though Bangkok Bank can work out cheaper on very large amounts.
- On health insurance they have used ACS for years and also point to LUMA, while warning that big-name global plans often cost more for less coverage.
- The personal section also covers renting, shopping, utilities, travel, transport, language learning, and legal help.
- The professional section lists providers for legal, finance, HR, office space, websites, and freelance work, which is handy if you are setting up a business here.
- Treat it as a set of vetted starting points rather than a full directory, and always check current prices and terms before committing.

Bank Account
Our main bank account is with Kasikorn. They have good English support and an impressive online banking system. My ATM card is also from Kasikorn.
In addition to Kasikorn, Bangkok Bank (good exchange rates, but otherwise prefer Kasikorn) and SCB (great app, and its securities business now operates under InnovestX for buying stocks) also offer a good banking system that works well if you plan to stay here long-term.
