I want to warn others in the group that even if you are doing an international transfer from your foreign bank using a SWIFT code (as advised by admins in this group in preference to Transferwise), to your Thai bank account, to meet immigration requirements for 65K a month deposited in your Thai bank account, that your international transfer may still not appear as an International transfer in your bank book. I transfered money last week and the code in my Bangkok Bank book is BTN which apparently refers to a domestic transfer even though I transferred it directly from my Australian Bank to my Bangkok Bank account using a SWIFT code. Apparently it was sent from my bank account to Citibank in Bangkok and then to Bangkok Bank. The staff member at Bangkok Bank was insistent that this will not meet immigration's requirements
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shared a warning regarding international transfers to Thai bank accounts using SWIFT codes. Despite following the advised procedure, their deposit was classified as a domestic transfer in the bank book (indicated by the code BTN), which may not satisfy immigration's requirement of showing a monthly deposit of 65,000 THB. They were informed by Bangkok Bank staff that this classification would not meet immigration standards.
