Yes, I suppose you can do that within Thailand and it may work. But trying to withdraw cash in one country, fly it over here and then try to deposit in cash at a Thai bank, I think will be problematic.
Why ? as you have the proof of withdraw , AND if you reported it when entering Thailand on the RED channel of customs .
as i did that , even whiteout red channel reporting as the sum was under the value of 15000 us dollars ( in Euro bills )
Only thing you need is traceable documentation(s)

The bigger problem with carrying large amounts of cash is, what do you do with it when you get to your Thai home? If you put it in the bank, the teller will probably make a note or raise a flag somewhere. In the past I've withdrawn 2 million Baht in cash and walked it across the mall to another bank and deposited it there and nobody said a word. Today, I'm not so sure you can do that any more.
if you withdraw the amount cash from bank , you can ask a proof of withdraw i guess , and can show to the depositing bank teller ......or do i missing something here....?
And if bringing it cash from your home country same procedure , and eventually reporting out , and in to Thailand reporting by the RED channel
following regulations make it easy you know 😉

same for me , just keep awake and aware you carry it on you ....., don't take taxi but take bus (Safe as many people on board 👍) to your destination ......and FORGET the thought to visit a bar before the bank 😏

Happening alot recently,I also notice that they check every note and old us bills will not be accepted.500 euro note was cancelled i think to stop fraud and money laundrying too.Apart from showing passport to exchange you will not get away with it in thailand
500 Euro notes are still valid , but not printed anymore by national E.U. banks , but still in use as easy for cash transport

You can buy a small pen size blue light that detects counterfeit money at DIY shops in Thailand for about 50 baht, powered by small round batteries you can see UV markers in the notes and in your passport.....Worth having one
I have sauch one many years , it has a UV light and a metal strip reader who give a beep for a correct Euro bill , probably exist for $ or U.K. pound too

For Iphone users, you can either lock your phone if lost or wipe it clean if stolen, using icloud.com
I don't know about android phones.
"' Prey" app can even wipe-out phone from distance if lost or stolen

no problem using a phone outside of thailand using wifi or data sim, the problem is installing a banking app on a new phone outside of Thailand
That is exactly what i try to say .......so impossible to use a newer Smartphone OR upgrading the older linked Smartphone .....GRRRR ! hence a problem for the outside Thailand foreigners now with Android 8.0 , as needed to be at KK branch to do the new phone with higher Android ( minimum 9.0 ) linking .....
So after 6 February only possible using by PC/Tablet online banking , and hoping in case a OTP needed watching that on the dumb phone (no wifi or data possible ) as before worked ) as that received always sms or OTP

i think you can based on posts I've read as long as you have the same thai sim number, access from abroad, need to use the thai sim data for installing app so a one day package is probably necessary
oh no problem to reach them as i kept my AIS sim alive aswel as my KK bank regulary checking from my home country sim ....., strange enough by using my European sim ....,( as Thai sim in a spare dumb phone )...., so on my originall used smartphone from years ago to present time is linked with that Thai sim at KK branch .
Now working on same Smartphone using KK app with home country sim (?) ....and working by WIFI using ,(not by phoneline however ), so must be the imei number seems recognized by KK app
And on "dumb old phone with originnal Thai sim receiving OTPasword and sms messages .....
That is making probanly the problem to starting using a newer O.S android phone as i am 8000 kilomere away from Any KK branch to link the phone i guess ....
I load regulary my Thai sim by KK money

Just a reminder that people should update their phones rather than hang on to old ones, i think current version is android 14. Phones are cheap
Yes , but when outside Thailand you can not add your new phone to the App as you need to link that on your KK bank
Upgrading yes ..., but a new phone you could only add on your bank , not just online .
My problem now as my oldie Snartphone Android *8.0, and my latest o.s 12.0 , of course i can use KK by pc online

Just received warnig on KK mobile app that from 6 February Android OS. 9.0 Or higher is needed !
So older SmartPhones need upgrade or replacement .....
A Problem for those outside Thailand , example in home country

Data Roaming and International Roaming are separate components. International Roaming is necessary for receiving SMS and calls. You can disable Data Roaming and use WiFi for Internet/Applications etcBut my access to any of my local Belgian providers was with a red mark no access until i did put roaming on again ....
AIS DATA roaming putting OFF was no problem as i had acces to my local Be. Wifi
Just mentioning like situation was ,not making a point

You need Data Roaming off, unless you want it on. You don’t need Data Roaming on to receive SMS or calls.I put it of ,and i could not use myAIS app anymore ....
but could be that in Off position sms can be received ...
I do not know

I will add that as well, but most SMS's I get from AIS are just promotions/ adverts telling me about the deals I can get on phone call and internet packages.
those adverting sms you can opt-out in the MyAIS app (several options to opt-out ....) in menu "notification settings "
Keep in mind you need to keep roamning ON when outside Thailand !!

AIS prepaid 12Call have made a lot of money from me by deactivating SIMMs that have not been used beyond a certain date. Each time I visit Thailand I have to buy a new SIMM. I now am the owner of multiple SIMMs all except one inactive. Any messages I get from AIS are in Thai language and are ignored. No doubt I am just one of thousands.
Any messages I get from AIS are in Thai language.....
*700*9*7*2# seems to be the code by AIS to put sms to English ,

I can see that some people might need more than one SIM card, but five? And according to @Georgealbert 's post, 30,000 people own more than 30 SIM cards , and several thousand own more than 100 - why on earth would anybody need that many SIMs? I can't think of any legitimate purpose.

Maybe they destroyed them each after Bar-GF annoyed them too much after stopping the bar relation....

How are you going to use an agent to avoid Immi checks when you leave the country?
My comment was just for in any contact with immigration ,not by leaving ....example extensions etc.
Immigration is the best placed service to keep record if a foreigner is taxable ( 180 days in Thailand )

No, but conceivably, Immi will easily see from your passport when you leave the country, how many days you've been in Thailand and then ask if you've filed a tax return or similar.
Another profitable reason for them to make you use an agent ....so they would look not to close to that ....another profit earner ...

It is also recommended for persons over 65 (slightly different vaccine schedule) especially if they have any chronic conditions.
If you received Prevnar 13 next step (at least 1 year later) is Pneumovax 23.
I got Pneumovax 23 at age 70 , and now at 75 a second Pneumovax , no bad implications by the vaccinations . Both when visiting my E.U. home country

Just been travelling for 10 weeks on public transport.......why do people think it is okay to..........
1. Play games on a console with the speakers on full blast.....usually war games.
2. *Put their smart-phone on speaker to talk to a friend*.
3. Put their smart phone on loudspeaker and listen to their music or watch a movie.
4. Put their feet up on the seat opposite.
5. Sit in an aisle seat, but put their bags on the window seat.
6. Speak as loudly as possible to a friend sat right next to them in a packed, but otherwise totally silent, train carriage.
7. Press their knees hard up into the seat in front on an aircraft.
Confessions of a grumpy, miserable, old expat........or understandable complaints?
* Someone did explain to me that women do this to avoid smudging their makeup.

Depositing 800k for retirement extension
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Posted · Edited by david555
no swift , as i carry it myself i am sure it arrives whiteout any delay or compliance at my Thai bank depositing it in person with my documentations , swift works too but "can" have any hassle , and even a customs red channel reporting gives you the proof it came cash way foreign way to Thailand if that would be needed for the depositing purpose .......
ONLY do not bring gold !(even when reporting it ) as monetary gold importing to Thailand needs import license ,..... not for gold jewels
