ORIGINAL POSTER

My bank account was closed, of course. I have Thai baht that I need to convert to USD, then send that money to my Charles Schwab account in the US. 

I have no idea how to transfer cash like that.

Does anyone know the method? I'm in Chiang Mai. 

Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on how to convert Thai baht to USD and transfer it to their Charles Schwab account in the US, as their bank account has been closed. Suggestions from the community include using services like Dee Money or Western Union for money transfers, depositing cash into a trusted friend's account for a direct transfer, or directly visiting a bank to inquire about the transfer process.

Have you tried going to a bank with your Thai baht and ask them to transfer the money over?
