Best Domestic Commercial Bank: Thai Farmers Bank

These have not been easy times to be a banker in Thailand and one thing is certain: it is not going to get any easier. While credit quality will improve, Thai bankers are now facing an unprecedented battle with foreign banks, whose incursions into their home market get bolder every month. Thai Farmers Bank, as the most technology-savvy of the local banks, will lead the counter-attack. It is the third largest bank in the country with 532 branches and 762 ATMs, and operates in all 76 of ThailandÆs provinces.
