@John *******
what "reason" do you choose when transferring to your Thai bank, and what bank?

@Simon *********
yes, mine is actually 12.5k, but happy with that. Less than an Aussie pint of beer a week, and no 800k tied up in a bank...and no extra paperwork involved..😊

@Simon *********
agree with you Simon , my agent charges the same as yours, but if others are happy at paying double that, then that's their choice, but shouldn't post saying that is the going rate when it obviously isn't..

PromptPay is linked to your Thai mobile number. You need to set it up with your bank first, if not done so already.

@John ********
so that's the nearest spot from Hua Hin is it?

@Jo *********
no they're not! I have a Bangkok Bank account and my local branch closed. I wanted to open an SCB account as they were next door but they wouldn't do it , even though my partner has an account there and I had an OA visa and the residential paperwork from immigration.

Very unhelpful.

@Dave *********
that's fine for you as you're here for a short time, withdraw your 800k and move on

@Ellie ******
why do you have to go to your original IO? You left Chiang Rai but now reside in Phuket, really?
