I cannot speak to Bangkok Bank, however I have a FCD account with Kasikorn and was able to transfer sterling from UK direct to that account without exchanging it into Baht, hence FCD. Should I transfer any of that money into another account other than the FCD then it would be changed to Baht.
Yes sounds same as my situation.
-
Is this an FCD account with BKK? How did you put the GBP into it?
Yes its a foreign currency (GBP) account with Bangkok bank. I sent money to it from the UK. Now I want to get the GBP out.
-
And if so can you confirm whether its possible or not to transfer GBP overseas directly from the GBP account. BKK bank are telling me I have to change it to Baht first.....
I did tag this question onto the end of an older post, apologies if anyone's seeing it twice
-
Can I send GBP from my Thai BKK Bank GBP account to my UK bank account? If so, any idea on charges?
-
Thanks for all your replies to my question on how to transfer GBP both in and out of Thailand. I had to jump through hoops to open a citibank account in another country. For thailand would you recommend HSBC or Citi?

Hi
Had a quick search but could only find topics regards inwards transfers
I have a GBP account with Bangkok Bank in Chiang Mai, but they say if I want to transfer the GBP to Singapore, I first have to change the GBP to Baht, then change it to SGD to transfer. Are there any high street Thai banks which allow GBP outward transfers or do I need to go to an International Bank? (presumbaly a trip to BKK to open?)
Many thanks

From Huay Tung Tao there is a great little walk to Dtaatmook waterfall. 30 to 60 mins up depending on your speed then cool down at the waterfall, although at this time of year might even be dry. There are a few ways to get there but the easiest and most pleasant is to drive to the north of the lake, then around the rice fields and park just before the army checkpoint. There is a small narrow dam accross the river which requires a couple of metre-long jumps then the attached map (thanks to cmhike.com) shows the rest. The walk stays next to the river (or stream depending on the season)

Sansai:
Have to give a shout out for a new place near Sausage King - "Norm Thai Massage"
I've been to see Khun Ge (short 'e' like 'get' without the 't', in my english accent anyway) who seems to be the owner, twice in 2 weeks. She is strong, professional and clearly experienced. Her natural style is therapeutic hard Thai massage - there is another lady working there, Khun Ging, who I have yet to try but apparently she is softer. Ge has some interesting manouvres - I went through a lot of pain the first time but I went back for more.
the pin mark in the last post is approximate
and heres what the front looks like.

Just ate at night bazaar branch. Thought it would be packed in high season but just couple of tables occupied. Great steak pizza fries and some dark wheat beer.

And this garage is run be a friend of a friend. Worrying.
-
I think i know the answer to this but I'd like to defer to higher wisdom
Is there any way the garage that replaced my Toyota corolla's starter motor could need to use almost half a tank of petrol to do any kind of testing during the procedure? Or is it Thailand protocol that they should use my car to drive into city (15km each way) to buy parts etc? Even then they would struggle to use 500THB of petrol.
thanks

Thanks. I'll try this place. Is it walk-in or do you need to book? Hourly rate?
I regularly use the blind massage places in the city. They're not suitable if you want a relaxing spa-like experience but they are very good at freeing up knots and tight muscles which requires a fair amount of pressure and pain. 180 THB/hour
Was 100 baht. Not been for 6 mths but they seemed to live there and the sign is still up outside.
There is also another shop with mum and 2 daughters who are good for both Thai and oil. From the main Mae Jo junction, 2 or 3km along 'Sahakon' road, on the RHSide. But looking at google earth i can't recall if its before or after the OTOP Community Massage (now closed)/ Fitness area
to clarify, ive been abroad 6 mths

If you're in Mae Jo and you like it hard, there are a blind couple who both provide massage in a simple terraced house. I have only had the guy. Hard, but skillful. Great idea for a thread. I've only just seen it, shame it hasn't received more posts. I've also had consistently good massages at Fah Lanna (only been to the branch near night bazaar)

does anyone have a link to the actual rules or guidelines for music in a bar. For example, can you play the radio? Internet radio? Music you've made yourself?

New starts at 1,2m with a newer body style
your wheels look nice but to your taste not everybody's
So I'm thinking 4 almost 5 years old take the 800,000
almost 5 years? 3.5 years old please.........i sew 5 years old gor 850.000 at the dealers at sukhv.
2009, 2010,2011,2012, and soon the 2013 model year is upon us.
I am sure you noticed on on their lot as that asking price, dealers recondition the cars and sell them at top Baht.
Don't get me wrong, I like the look of you car, and you seem not to want to sell it quick but for top Baht. I understand your in the Pattaya area, 2 papers, and maybe the Bangkok one too, Sign on it, Ads on Thiavisa, bahtsold, Craigslist, the list goes on, See how your luck goes, Maybe you will be lucky. cars are an emotional thing to some. When I sell cars or bikes, once I decide to sell I price them to sell and move on, In the last year I have sold 2 trucks, 2 cars, and a half dozen bikes. I sold to the first to look at them, Yes, maybe I could have held out for more, But time also is money and it cost to advertise as your car deprisheates on your driveway
wise words of wisdom
Do not be dragged into the paradox of choice. There are so many options for selling, so many options for buying, so many variables, so many judgements to make. Its so very easy to spend more in emotional energy than you will save in $/ THB/ £ . Time is precious. Peace is more precious. 690k take it or leave it.

2 different call centre staff told me over the phone that my FCD account is only for receiving baht and I'd have to transfer to my baht account to do any outward transfers. Its a shame I can't try in the actual branch.
