I've never specifically seen an issue for anyone using a non Bangkok Bank bank for the transfer. I could be wrong, let me look a bit.

@Bon***

It works regardless of the bank you use. The transaction occurs on Transferwises end, not the banks end. Normally Transferwise (or Wise) will try to convert the money in country to reduce transaction fees for themselves and save time. If you specify that the money needs to come from abroad though, they will make sure the transaction going into the bank comes from abroad.

Few different questions and answers here.

1. The method ACH, wire, debit/credit is up to you, you choose it when you make the transaction.

2. As for bringing money in from overseas, when you make the transaction is will ask you what the purpose is for. You MUST select the one that specifies "Buying property or investment (don't remember the exact wording)" so the money gets sources from outside Thailand and codes as an international deposit into the Thai account.

That doesn't make sense though, Bangkok is a "maximum control zone" but the BTS, MRT, day trains, and public buses are still running.

@M**

Naaaaaah, really?

@An**

You understand it incorrectly.

@Ae**

What?

@An**

Not between Bangkok and Pattaya.

@T**

Interesting, that's surprising actually. I thought the curfew was mostly to curtail the protests in bkk.

Yes, there are no travel restrictions between Bangkok and Pattaya. Only issue is you cannot leave bangkok after curfew. I don't believe Pattaya has a curfew right now.
