Correct, no fees from Bkk Bank, but fees from Canadian account. I didn’t post a question, merely suggested cash is king in my opinion. I am aware of many ways to do cashless payments from my Bkk Bank… I prefer cash.

@Paul *******

I do have a Thai account and have transferred large amounts when buying a home and motorcycles. I’m not aware of any Canadian banks who reimburse fees, but I hear some US banks do. If any Canadian banks do, that would be a good option. I find transferring large amounts leaves me vulnerable to the bank rate of the day is for the entire transfer, whereas having $10,000. cash allows me to transfer as much or as little as I want when rates are in my favour. Cash is king in my opinion. I’ve tried Wise too, but still prefer using cash… maybe I’m just old school.

I’d check the Canadian Customs website to be sure, but I believe any “individual” is allowed to carry $10,000. out of the country without declaring it. I don’t see why age would matter. Bank machines in Thailand will stiff you with a 200 baht charge for every withdrawal and will only allow a 20,000 baht ($800.) limit per transaction. I always bring in $10,000. CDN cash and have never had a problem. Cash is king in Thailand.

Ned Focker hmmm… my experience is exactly the opposite. Almost without exception the IOs have been helpful, patient and have worked to help me resolve whatever issue I was dealing with. Perhaps the problem isn’t the IOs Focker?

Tony, I am sincerely sorry for your loss. Losing a partner is devastating under the most routine circumstances, but your variables and aggravating factors make things that much more challenging to make sense of.

Tony, I’ve been a social worker in healthcare for 20+ years. While I don’t have a magic pill to make everything better, I do invite you to DM me if you like and I would be happy to chat with you to try to ease some of the intense emotions it sounds like you’re experiencing. My thoughts are with you Tony and whether or not it feels

like it, your partner was very fortunate to have you in her corner and by her side. 🙏

I’m just confused why a business/organization would make posts that make it clear they’re dicks. Oh well, lots of other organizations to contribute to.

@Colin *******

I have done that as well. I mentioned that upfront that it could have been a simple mush it key.

Yeah no kidding. I remember one response from long ago. Certainly not an organization I would ever support.

Yes, agreed. Only hope is that it was clicked in error… I can’t imagine someone laughing at someone else’s loss… especially seeing as they represent an animal rescue organization.

My condolences on your loss. Can’t help but wonder what Pattaya Pet Rescue finds funny about this post?
