Surfing Thai Visa,I previously found information on this subject.I know you can do it at the bank,but for more specific information look around the forum, and read about it from people who have done it.Maybe someone who is a "specialist in monetary issues" will take the time to help you out.

Just do a wire transfer. Have the money converted to U.S. dollars by the Thai bank - don't rely on your U.S. bank to make the conversion or you'll get screwed on the exchange rate. It'll also let you know the exact dollar amount that should show up in your U.S. account.

Have your house sales receipt ready to show the bank, in case they want to know where you got the money.
