The document that you signed and did not understand was to say that you did not give any money towards the purchase of the land.

AUSTRAC is notified of transfers above $10,000. Permit me to doubt they are going to waste their time tracking WISE transfers of a few thousand dollars. Or that the financial institution would be reporting them.

You are wrong. AUSTRAC is notified of all electronic transfers of money being transferred from Australia. The $10,000 limit is only  for passengers and crew  embarking from Australia.

As another member said, AUSTRAC was notified when you transferred your money from your Australian bank account to your Thailand bank account.  

 

I have no idea if they inform Centrelink, but for sure they would inform certain government agencies, the ATO being one of them.   

 

Tax avoidance, money laundering, drug dealing, financing terror etc etc etc etc.  AUSTRAC don't just sit on the data. 

I can assure you that AUSTRAC do not inform any department of transfers. If that department has access to the AUSTRAC system then they can check transfers for a certain individual if that individual comes to there attention.

There is no way to show online where the money has gone or why. Certainly never gave SCB details.

If cetrelink have access to Austrac reports they will be able to see it was transferred to your name and SCB bank Thailand. All electronic transfers are recorded in Austrac. It is a requirement by law.

Are you a monthly transfer or 800,000 baht.  Mine is a monthly transfer and they don't seem to handle that well. 

Mine are fortnightly  transfers from Australia to BKK bank via Wise. I transfer the money before 0900 using Pay ID or Osaka as know in Australia. I use long term stay as reason and since I tagged it with Wise in 2019 it has always arrived in my BKK bank account just after 1400 the same day coded FTT. The only time there is a delay if there is a public holiday in Thailand.

Didn't think minors were allowed access to bank accounts (even when in their name).

They can once they turn 15. 

If anyone is interested I started a Fantasy comp. It is called Thailand expats. It is open to the public.

Where I live most Thai riders have mirrors but they do not know how to use them. There is also a lot of riders believe they can ride against the traffic. The other group are the ones that cannot interpret no entry signs and drive the wrong way in a one way street.

so now the air is bad?

Yes it is. Do a search on Google about air quality in northern Thailand and judge for your self. I live about 2 hours drive east of Chiang Mai and our mountains a completely covered. Wait till the rains start which clears the smoke to see the beauty of the north.

Week in Darwin not too expensive if careful on hotels.  Could see Kakadu and take a nice trip to Katherine Gorge. Closer than Tokyo. Osaka and Kyoto would make a nice week and nice in the cold. Many South East Asian destinations a bit same same but probably more relaxing if that's what is wanted. 

February is still the wet season and cyclone season.  Best time to visit Darwin is from May to August. It is the dry season with cooler temperatures and lower humidity. The temperatures are still high 20s and low 30s

They check busses coming from Mae sai , Chiang Rai , as well as other traffic ,

but only seem to do it a night , so if you want to be a mule do it in  the  day time.

I have seen many buses pulled over at check points south of Chiang Rai during the day.

Trat is Everything same day !  as with many other IO, god knows what happens if you have to use BKB as I hear it takes them days. Yellow bank its 10 mins.

If you need 12months bank statement from the Bangkok Bank it takes 7 days. Less than 6 months they will do immediately. The bank latter is also immediately.

Ok.  I understand dollar/pound.  But dollar/ pound/ thai baht is my issue. 

 

In simple terms why is the pound getting better against the dollar, and as soon as it does the Thai baht produces less against the pound.

 

BOT manipulation comes to mind.  Something they have been doing for years.

 

But thank you for trying to help. Much appreciated. 

Yes the BOT are buying more Baht. With the increased tourism there is also a greater demand for Baht. Most countries currency has fallen against the Baht due increased demand for Baht.

The 1st is also a holiday. National labour day. Only 2 days work for some in the first week of May
