Credit cards in Thailand for foreigners

SCB will do it, you need to have double the amount of wanted credit on a "locked" bank account unless you have work permit and an income to show in Thailand.

Why have credit card if you need to have same (or even doble) amount inside the bank ? Then regular debit card will be a much better option and (guess) with lower charges .

And you are a traveling man I presume? Have you tried to make reservations or other things abroad with a Thai debit card. The question was not if it was good or not but if it was possible.
