What are the current limits and new rules for transferring money from abroad to Thai banks?

There have reportedly been changes to the limits and rules around transferring money from abroad to Thai banks. Some users mention a recent adjustment allowing higher amounts for transfers but requiring verification via a phone call or in-branch visit. The standard limit of 50,000 Baht is still common, especially for newer accounts or certain banks, but users have shared instances of successfully transferring much higher amounts without issue, particularly with larger banks like Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn Bank. Additionally, there are mentions of potential taxation on foreign transfers to be aware of. Overall, experiences can vary significantly depending on the bank and individual account status.
