Hello there, asking for advice regarding money transfers to the EU (Austria). I have been sending money to my daughter (just small amounts, less than EUR 800 every other month) via Western Union without any problems. Last Thursday they suddenly declined and asked me to fill in a document requiring the birth certificate of my daughter, my pension certificate and what not. I find that a bit too much, especially given the fact that they accept payments into Thailand without much ado. Anybody knows a way around or a better option to send money to the EU? My bank, Krungsri, is asking horrendous fees.

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

I just opened a bank account with kasikorn bank.

It's easy to deposit money from my wise account or cash..

ABER

Es ist sehr trickreich und/oder teuer, das Geld wieder aus Thailand herauszubekommen... 🤔🤔🤔

I may have a mental block???

Can someone help me ????

Ich habe gerade ein Bankkonto bei der Kasikorn Bank eröffnet.

Es ist einfach, Geld von meinem Wise-Konto oder Bargeld einzuzahlen...

What is the best way to send large amounts of money to thailand. I have a bank account in thailand already. ?

I've just transferred £1000 from UK to Kasikorn, the UK charged just £5 and i sent in pound sterling, because UK always charge more when they exchange it. However Kasikorn has just creamed 3%, no biggy for £1000, but this was a trial to see speed and charges, it will kill me sending 5 or 10 million baht. So my question is, from experience, do any of you know whether different banks charge different amounts, if so which is best, and finally does the amount % get less the more you send?

Hi guys, for those that apply in Hanoi, how many times were you required to show the statement? Once or more than once?

Can I transfer the money in, show the statement and transfer the money out?

Dont know if anyone elsehas encountered this problem. I recently tried to send my wife a small amount of money using WISE. After three days I got an email saying my account had been closed due to fraudulant activity, which is absolute nonnsense. I have spent several hours on the phone submitted a claim with them and they still have my money. I cannot seem to talk with anyone with any authority. Anybody else have this experience and any idea on how to get my money back. Disgusted by this.

I am looking for some information please. I will have around 200,000GBP when I move to Thailand. Can anyone give me an idea of the best rate of interest I can get from a bank. TIA.

TRANSFER OF THB FROM BANGKOK BANK to CHF of my Swiss Cantonal Bank ?

Hello Swiss expatriates!

I am thinking of transferring part of my THB from my Bangkok Bank account to my cantonal bank (Neuchâtel) in Switzerland in CHF. Are the exchange rate and fees on both sides correct? THANKS !
