I recently had this exact same issue between my bank in Canada and Remitly as the transfer app and receiving in Thailand at Bangkok Bank. I had no problem for 2 years using this procedure. Last week I had three failed attempts two for $25k and one for 15K that needed my attention. It was then known that during the final 15K transfer that for the last 2 years that Bangkok Bank had been accepting my transfers without the use of my middle name as the recipient. That is what caused the issue.Thailand is clamping down on foreign banking due to fraud and scam call centers I'm sure you have all heard. The middle name is on my Bangkok Bank account and until I change the recipient name to include my middle name they were being rejected this was not an issue in the past. When I upgraded the recipient name as it is on my Bangkok bank account to include the middle name there is no longer any issue. Hope you find this helpful good luck

After taking the advice of others I sought the advice of a tie tax professional in regard to my country my money and my situation and I am not concerned at all after doing so

I thought there was people at the airport prior to going through immigration at BKK that are there to assist people such as a scenario

I don't know where your head is at with some of these comments you are making I absolutely hate Trump and what he's doing to the world. Your assumption of the rest of the world thinks the way that you do is absolutely ludicrous and even more ludicrous believing that you are always right I merely made the suggestion that it is a possibility to have non-stop flights with Delta Air in the future because of the upgrade from FAA in Thailand international airports. I think you are a very rude and conceited individual exactly the type of individual is not fit into the life in Thailand. I will have no more conversation with you because of there is no point in talking to someone who has a very close mind it is beyond me how you are a top contributor with an attitude such as yours. You would do well adopt some of the tie away interacting with other people. We're done

5555.... I live here too. I really like adopting the Thai people's way of communicating in a non-confrontational manner. An added point of interest for USA. The FAA upgraded Thailand's status from Level 2 to level 1 in February which is a precursor for non-stop flights in the future between USA and Thailand. Enjoy your stay here๐Ÿ™

yes those electrical issues as well as mechanical issues can in fact affect non-stop flights also
