not about phone #. I have had an account with Bangkok Bank for almost a year. Today they called me in and locked the account. They said it was because I originally opened the account with a tourist visa. ( have had a retirement visa for over 9 months), I am supposed to hear more in 3-5 working days, but uncool they originally asked me to open with tourist visa, and now my money is frozen.

baht. So your exchange cost via sending Thai baht is about $14.76. If you send $5000 via baht, then your exchange cost is about $130. Wire transfer of any amount (sending via dollar) is $45
