Will Thai banks accept my coins for cash exchange?

Ross ********

I bag mine in small plastics bags and deposit in my sons account at Bangkok Bank. Usually in 100B lots and deposit less than 1800B at a time. Any more they charge a fee. They even take satang. I put them in bags of 10B.. Good luck.

@Greg **********

That is incorrect. BBK still use FFT as foreign transfer. There was a month where you had to transfer more than B100,000 before to got FTT. That has now reverted to the way it was before. I do check my online statement and update my book every month.

@Nigel *************

I transfer my money from Australia about 0700. If Wise sends to my money before 1000 to my BKK it will arrive at 1402 the same day. The only change will be if it is a public holiday in Thailand. the last time I did it was yesterday. It appears in my account as FTT. Foreign transfer.

Are Thai banks closed during New Year, affecting Wise transfers?

Ross ********

31st is a public holiday so most banks are shut. The only ones open may be in Malls. The only banks that manually transfer money for foreign transfers will be shut so that is why it will not arrive in your bank until Monday. If you want a reference do a Google search.

Ross ********

If you do a transfer after 1000 and you need it to show up as a Foreign transfer it will not arrive until the following day. The banks here have to do it manually. As already stated banks are closed from tomorrow until Monday.

What are the rules for TM30 registration when traveling within Thailand or abroad?

Ross ********

When I did my extension at my local office up north on Tuesday I asked about TM30s. The answer was if you travel in Thailand and return to your registered address you do not submit a new TM30. If you travel overseas and return with a re entry permit and return to your registered address then no requirement to submit a new TM30.
