TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, receiving money sent to the wrong bank account can lead to serious legal consequences. If you attempt to keep the funds, it may be considered embezzlement, which is a form of theft. It is crucial to understand that such actions can result in legal repercussions.
TiT. This is Thailand. You cannot expect the norm here especially with expat bank accounts. Many banks are franchise's and don't understand the law. I had an expat I know do this and the bank told him they cannot recover as it says everywhere check who and how much when you transfer monies. He thought this may be the case in Thailand so he didn't do anything until he saw this.
