No restriction and no working permit required to open bank account in China.

This is strange as I think there's no limit on how much you can bring into China.
However you can only bring ¥20,000 or US$5000 out of China.
Any amount more than that must declare.

Some banks in Thailand also require you to have a work permit before they allow you to open a bank account.
However Thailand bank policies differ from branch to branch.
Some allow you to open bank account without work permit.
