How to say I've come to open an account
in Thai
มาเปิดบัญชี
maa bpòet-ban-chii
I've come to open an account
Add ครับ (kráp) if you are a man or ค่ะ (kâ) if you are a woman. It makes the sentence polite, and Thais always use it.
มา + verb = 'I'm here to…'. Say it to the guard at the door; he'll give you a queue ticket.
