Bringing this topic back from the dead... been googling to find the opening hours for the DLT office in Bang Chak but no luck. Saw an article saying 8:00am-4:30pm but that was dated back in 2010... does anyone know what time it opens? I want to avoid the lines and get in and out as quickly as possible as I finally have a morning off to go and do this.. Thanks in advance!

SCB it's 2 million to another bank, but that can be increased with Head Office approval. I have attached a screenshot of my mobile banking app.

 

Do check if there are any transfer fees. There may or may not be, and they may or may not be significant.

 

Don't forget you can withdraw the funds in cash at one bank for free, then walk next door to the next bank and deposit the cash for free. 

 

I have often done that for larger amounts of cash. It saves on transfer fees and there is no delay with the funds being credited to the account.

Thanks. Now the issue I faced today was that you can only do 50k per transfer on the app... to transfer 500k I had to make 10 transactions, so annoying

I was going to post in the SME forum but it seems pretty dead so think it may be better to post this question here.

I'm preparing to open a buffet style all you can eat shabu restaurant in Bangkok and am trying to figure out labour costs. Anyone in the restaurant industry or have similar experience hiring that could tell me how much workers salaries are? For example:

1. Monthly salary for full time floor staff (and is it based on 5 or 6 day work week?)

2. Cashier

3. Cook - will just be preparing simple things such as fried items

4. Prep cooks - mainly to prep and cut meat and veggies, refill the buffet style items in the self serve area for customers, etc.

5. Dishwasher

6. If I were to hire one "Manager" level employee how much would he/she need to be paid compared to the regular floor staff?

Any insight would be appreciated! Definitely will hook up the discounts for ThaiVisa members after opening :D

Kasikorn can transfer 3 million a day from online banking on portal 

I think you need to go into the branch in person  to make larger transfers 

For some reason the android app can only do 500k at a time but pc can do 3M 

 

Hmm I called twice, both yesterday and again just now after reading your post but still the answer I got is that 500k is the max even with K-Cyber. They told me that under old policy customers could transfer up to 2 million per day but not anymore.

No maximum but if the incoming transfer is over US$ 50,000 (or equivalent in another currency) then the Thai bank are required to produce a Foreign Exchange Certificate stating the reason for the transfer.

 

My wife had to visit her branch to sign the document.

 

We had asked for the funds to be held on arrival so that we could negotiate the best rate, they emailed us when the transfer arrived, wife went to sign and whilst at the bank called the Bangkok office and managed to get a slightly better rate than published on the Krung Thai website.

 

KTB have been very good for the two big transfers we made for building works and our contacts at the KTB Bangkok office have even emailed us their new phone numbers when they moved location.

 

 

Good to know thanks! I was wondering would you know what the max transfer out to another thai bank is per day at Krungsri? K-bank, SCB, Bangkok Bank all told me there is a 500k limit each day transferring money to another thai bank.

It's easy to burn a few thousand a month without really trying.... 

Cars

Bikes

Hotels 

Flights 

Rent

Alcohol

Medical

Restaurants 

Visas 

 

Wives/gfs kids etc will accelerate 

 

I've transferred in more than the OP  and they never seemed to care what it was used for

 

As mentioned, transferring it back out would be a much more painful process :) 

Transfer out money using bitcoin :) until they start to ban that too

Hi All,

Digging up this topic from the past as I'm wondering if any of the rules have changed since 2014... I'm looking to wire transfer in a large amount between USD $50k - 60k from an offshore bank to my Thai bank account, this may occur more than once in the coming months. Seeking advice if there would be any potential problems or hold up by the Thai banks (most likely K-Bank, Bangkok Bank or SCB) and if there is any maximum?

Thank you all in advance as always!
