One of the great things about Thailand is the fact that (depending on the branch you go to) the operating hours for Thai banks are from about 9am to about 8pm, Mondays to Sundays. Many of the banks have branches in the shopping centres and this is really convenient as you can get some banking done while you do the weekend shopping.
Back in the bad old days in Singapore, it used to be that banking hours were from 9am to 3.30pm from Mondays to Fridays, and until 1pm on Saturdays. The situation has improved somewhat with banking hours being extended to 7pm on weekdays and 4pm on Saturdays (the banks are still closed on Sundays) but is still a pain as many people knock off late from work on weekdays and the only way they can get any banking done is to spend a portion of your weekend time at the bank, not exactly fun.
