First I discovered my Danish bank would only allow me to transfer ~100k baht pr day ( => 6xFees!) So, that delayed proceedings. Second, as mentioned, I made the mistake of transferring to my Thai account first. I'm generally very ok with Bangkok Bank. But they were NOT helpful about facilitating the transfer to Thai Elite. And that part also cost quite a bit more than expected. All in all. I hate banks :)
I'm not even sure. But you do loose a lot on exchange rates and fees. Plus, again, as noted above, transferring to my bank here first was a clear mistake.
Being a tourist, I know I probably would've been covered by the "amnesty" through July. But beyond that I would be running out of options. As noted above, it would be marriage or this.
