Not sure if it's right place to ask before I go to bank but is there an easy way to transfer funds from Australian bank account to my K bank account please?

Can I use 800,000 Baht in cash to open a bank account.

I am thinking that bringing £ over from UK will get me the best exchange rate to Baht

TIA

I need to send a large sum for a Thai friend to buy a house. I don’t want comments on this, I know 100% what I am doing.

What would be the safest way to do it?

Swift transfer to friend’s Bangkok bank is possible? Will the EU bank allow this?

Wise/revolut I am afraid they would freeze the money and start asking all sort of questions and would be a nightmare to stay in touch with them.

Should I come to Thailand, open a bank account and then transfer there and then to my friend?

If so on what visa could I do this? I leave elite visa as my last option(expensive and I don’t really need to be that much in Thai for the next 5 years)

Hi all. I recently made an international transfer to my K-bank account. It was shown as a "bahtnet deposit" with THB100 deducted from the transferred amount.

This seems odd as I made a similar transfer just last month and it was received as a "transfer deposit" with the remarks on the transfer channel being "internet/mobile across bank". No fees were deducted.

According to aseannow web forum, it seems that K-bank have only recently started charging and switched to bahtnet. Anyone have similar experience?

Has anyone here ever used Payoneer to transfer money to a visa agent? Thinking of getting a retirement visa later.

Is anybody from Canada using wise to transfer money from Canada to Thailand Tia

Can anyone give me some insight on returned money transfer to Bangkok Bank, no problems before and recent transfer was returned by the bank.

Sorry guys best way to off load my hard earned cash to my beloved wise or western union

I was using Wise to send money from the U.S. to my wife's account in Thailand (TTB). Any suggestions for a replacement since Wise says "this bank no longer accepts cross-border remittances." Does this mean Wise or all electronic transfer systems?

I use wise. Does anyone know why it takes a day or 2 to send money to my Thai bank account if I say the reason. (Funds for long term stay in Thailand).

Happens for any amount.

But when I send money to the girlfriend or for any other reason it's sent straight away.

Just curious.

Thanks everyone
