that is what I did too. Had a non o a and immigration recommendations was to kill that by going to Malaysia and return on a extemt and convert that when I got back
no. 12* 65k in a bank account. I did have an income letter to but they wanted that verified in Bangkok so I showed the bankbook. They wanted a letter from the Thai bank that the money was transferred from abroad.
and it's still going to cost you... I would love to get my currency converted into THB notes under 0.65 percent..... The cheapest way still requires at atleast 2 Banks...
