He should be worried about the many "short-time" customers in the room above the bar that night...

I am not going to get involved in any 'gaslighting' and would prefer, once again, to stay on-topic.

 

Going back through the thread, it was made clear to you and anyone else reading, that the margin was not 100 baht, but 1000 baht for your stated amount. I 

So are you genuinely confused as to the rate that you received? I am really not sure why you are arguing. It's clear that you have it wrong.

 

Transfers to Bangkok Bank from abroad are subject to their TT rate, which is not the Spot rate that you claim.

 

That is all that matters here. I am not interested in your personal enmities. Try to remember we are here to help, not to air any personal grudges. 

Your claims are wrong and that is all.

 

 

 

Rates vary throughout the day. For example, if I look at the rate at 10:15 am and it says 32.14 per $1 and by the time I get around to setting up my transfer later that same afternoon and it hits my BB account 6 hours after that and I get 32.13 per $1, I'm NOT that concerned about. Sometimes I get a little more than I expected. It's no big deal...

The $40 USD fee my US bank charges me for same day wire transfer is completely separate and beside the point. If I wanted to wait 7 days for the transfer I would only be charged a fee of $5 USD by my US bank. I don't calculate bank fees into exchange rates, if someone else does, that's completely their own personal choice and not for me to judge either way.

I'm not confused about anything. The 1000 baht margin you speak of was mentioned within someone else's reply to me. Perhaps that person was confused about the flat fee my US bank charges for wire transfers to be a margin. The wire transfer fee charged by my US bank is a flat fee no matter how much is transferred.

This is and has been my exact personal experience for the last 4 years. If your experience is completely different than mine, I certainly wouldn't sit here and say you are completely wrong about your personal experience.

I am going to step in here to tell you that you are completely out of order.

 

The title of the thread is: How much is Bangkok bank charge fee when transferring 2M THB from overseas

 

Your reply on this thread was:

 

 

The "actual daily rate" in that context means nothing. But then you went on to post:

 

 

Which is clearly misinformation.  There is no way that you received the actual Spot rate that you indicated there.

Foreign currency transfers to Bangkok Bank are subject to their rates and fees. You do not ever receive the Spot rate. 

So it's either deliberate misinformation or you have made a mistake. Which is it?

 

I would appreciate it if you did not fly off the handle with me. If you do so, it will be reported.

 

Let's just keep it on-topic if you please.

1) If you wish, you can to go back and read my original post and "try to comprehend" what is meant by "100" or so baht either way from the rate I see published.

2) Making accusations and telling others they are "out of line" is not on topic either, nor is it your place to do so.

3) I'm not petty, but if you would like to go and report how you like to agitate others with your poor choice of words, please feel free to do so. 

I'm over 60 and I'm ok with having the AstraZeneca vaccine, but if the political situation gets out of control and it's no longer safe to live in Thailand or they impose martial law you can color me gone!!!

This is what I received at 09.02 after I managed to submit the form, at my first attempt.

 

Thanks for filling in Pre-Registration for COVID-19 Vaccine

 

Later in the evening I received an SMS advising of an appointment for the 29th July, they've since responded to my question about vaccines and confirmed it'll be AZ, I'll be more than happy if that proves to be so, but I'm not banking on it.

 

I was finally able to register on the last day of registration, and received an SMS message with my appointment confirmation. I'm not holding my breath either about AZ because they pulled a BS switch on me in June from AZ to Sinovac and I refused it.

Choose your words wisely because everything is a matter of interpretation.

1) It's not your place to "allow" me or "anyone else" to have our own point of view.

2) This can be taken as a threat.

If I had $1 U.S. for every report of an expat going to a Thai hospital trying to get a COVID shot and being told "sorry, cannot, Thais first,"  I'd be a VERY wealthy man!!

 

B.S. on this minister's public statement. The evidence is overwhelming to the contrary.

 

Just the other day, the MoPH issued a public report saying only about 3.5% of the estimated foreign nationals population had received any COVID vaccines.. and that compares to more than 15% of the Thai population thus far.

 

That pretty much looks like discrimination.

 

Yes, they said foreign nationals will receive COVID vaccinations under the government's program. But they never said exactly WHEN!

 

 

 

Their next BIG LIE will be that we are refusing to be vaccinated!

Perhaps you are referring to the phrase 'more fool you'. It's a saying:

 

That is a generally accepted definition.

 

You, by definition, are doing exactly that.

 

Spreading the wrong information. It's not about opinions; it's about facts. People here do not need erroneous opinions. They need facts.

There was no insult; simply the statement of fact. The fact that you have overreacted somewhat; speaks to your own level of intelligence. 

If you want to stay ignorant(by your statement that it is not up for debate) that is up to you. But I will not stand by and allow you to misinform. That's the point here. People ask for/need advice, notwithstanding the erroneous 'opinions'.

You are the one that is completely WRONG in all your replies (to me) and making assumptions about what was said which speaks for your complete lack of intelligence. My original post was not advice, period! All of my posts on any subject on this website are based on news articles or methods I use. None of which are suggestions for ANYONE to follow, period. If someone has doubts about a news article, they can simply Google it for themselves. If my methods work or don't work for others it's by their own personal preference. It's people like you that degrade this website with your trivial and petty arguing, insults, name calling and swearing when something doesn't go to suit you or you disagree with.

It's a shame that sometimes well informed posters become patronising in their comments...It really kills a thread and is actually counter-productive........... Those with lesser info or experience can often be intimidated and prefer not to post their experiences or thoughts, even when they may have unique and relative experiences that may expose flaws and invariably, further debate...........shame that.................

There are many users on this site that are compelled to start "name calling", "insulting" or  "swearing" at others when a thought or opinion is different than their own. I read your other reply to me, and your method is different than mine, but I surely won't verbally attack you for it being different. Sharing information is how cognitive learning works.

Allow me to assist you:

 

This is today's rate if your US$25,000 was settled on this day: 32.76

 

This is WISE's rate today: 32.9300; obtaining 818,194.26 after fees.

 

Bank transfer 819,000 minus your stated 1817.08 baht in fees, equalling: 817,182.92.

 

Not a huge difference, but 1000 baht is not 100 baht.

Allow me to assist you... I'm talking about the date I last transferred money (which is going to be different) than whatever day you pulled this up. You stick to your method, and I'll stick to mine. And YES, I did in fact look at your precious WISE transfer as a rate comparison on the date of MY transfer. Your precious WISE rate today is no different than what I prefer to use. I also don't like linking my checking account to anything other than BANK to BANK transfers for ANYTHING. $40 USD (pocket change for me) is not included in my transfer calculation, it's my peace of mind and security. It's MY personal preference and not up for debate with you or anyone else, period! 

The system thinks you are on overstay. Many of us have this problem. We can't get to the second page using the website, and this print screen is from the phone app.

The "actual daily rate" is not the full mid-market rate, unlike the rate used by WISE. So you lose out there. Hard to believe there are still people here that don't seem to know this, after all the information that is posted.

The rate(s) I see and use as a comparison aren't much different than those using my method of transfer, so I'm not losing... Simply said, I won't consider 100 baht either way as a loss/gain.
