What issues might arise when transferring money from a UK building society account to a Thai bank?

Mark ******

Thanks for that info. I asked because I read somewhere recently (and I may have misconstrued the article) that Thai banks were now accepting a maximum of THB50,000 per incoming transaction. I believe it was something to do with combatting money laundering.

What are the best places to visit in Thailand and do Australians need an e-visa or visa on arrival?

Mark ******

Kanchanaburi (the movie Bridge on the River Kwai was based on events there) is fascinating - the Death Railway, war museum and war cemetery are tourist attractions. It’s worth a visit.
