Mantana Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Dear ThaiVisa users This is a request for information/advice. I wish to transfer the proceeds from my house sale in Thailand from my Bangkok Bank account to my UK bank account. I have internet Bualuang i-banking with My Bangkok Bank account which permits transfer but it has a daily cap and charges for each transfer. I am now living in the UK so cannot go to my Bangkok Bank branch in person. Any suggestions for which transfer method to get the best exchange rate and smallest transfer charges from anyone in a similar situation would be appreciated. Thank you.

Enki Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Open a Bangkok Bank account in London. Transfers should be free then. Note: *should* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumberman123 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 its a simple process but only of you can show the funds entering Thailand. If you cant show that then you need to go to Thailand and sort it out in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asanee Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 google for transferwise. Its gonna cost you something, no matter what they promise-either quoted or hidden in the rates. AND you must also comply for getting bigger sums out of this kingdom to that effectively reigned by a certain BoJo and also with their rules for letting bigger sums in. That is assuming its not a tiny reed matted hut built all by yourself from scraps, but a normal priced condo or house-way above the usual 10.000US$ limit. You can partly circumvent that with transferring a few times 9999, but after a certain nr of times also alarm bells will start to ring. Its BKK-bank but as such has nothing to do with BKK-city in particular. Check for other subfora if they have more substance about it, you wont be the very 1st one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobTH Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 When I left Thailand, I had to go to the Bangkok Bank Main Office on Silom Road and transfer my money home. And like others have said I had to prove where the money came from. I had kept records of my large transfers to Thailand from the USA. There might be others ways but this was the way I did it and the charges were not high doing it this way. I could not do it from my Bangkok Bank branch office, I had to go to the Silom Head office. I think any other ways you can find to do it will be too expensive or you might be able to use the power of attorney somehow, if there is someone you can trust with that kind of money.

In the EU most people use internet banking ... and I guess, besides BREXIT, most UKers do, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember what the daily cap is, or even if there is one, but I think the fee is 150 baht plus the v.a.t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
