3k Aus is about 74,000 Baht.
If you use Bangkok Bank ATMs they give 25k per transaction if your card limit allows.
Three transactions at 180 Baht a pop = about 22 Aus plus any international withdrawal charges made by your bank.
yeah right, so the 22 dollars is not so bad but depends on the international withdrawal charge + the rate given .... I'll check if i can do the cash advance , but not sure with a debit card ...

That's what I'd do. The Thai ATM charge will be about 200 baht, your Aus. bank may or may not charge your a fee, alot cards these days waive the foreign transaction fees.
You ought to notify the Aus bank that you will be using your card in Thailand, otherwise they might put a stop on it.
thanks Rob, as mentioned I'll try the cash advance and if not then the ATM ...
I hate paying that $70+ for a transfer ...... to me that's outrageous .... $40 ok ... but not 70.

TT is usually the most economical way to transfer money internationally.
If you use the ATM you'll likely get stung for 180 Baht per withdrawal (max 20 - 30 k Baht depending upon the bank).
If you do use an ATM and it offers to convert to your home currency (Dynamic Currency Conversion) do NOT accept the conversion, you get an awful rate. If you don't accept you still get your cash but you get the Visa rate.
Ask in the bank whether they will give a cash advance against a Visa debit card, they certainly can against Visa credit cards.
ok, I'll try the cash advance at SCB... that is the cheapest way,? if I can't I'll have to do the ATM and maybe over several days.
Thanks.

Tell the Bldg Society to put the money in your Aus. account and use your debit card at the ATM, i'd avoid from WU if possible
hi Rob, the money is already in the Aus building society acc.
so you think just use the ATM here in Bangkok. ?

Can anyone advise what is the best option to get the best rate or minimal charge ...
I want to get money from a Building Society in Australia .. say $3,000
The building society uses Western Union as their transfer agent ( TT )
however charges are $50 + ANZ $20 = $70 or 1,700 baht + 500 baht Bangkok bank. total = 2,200 baht
Current rates : Buying TT = 24.61 Buying Bank notes = 25.64
I have an ATM visa Debit card .....
Am I best to withdrawal some using the ATM ? what will the charge be ? what rate ?
Can I get a cash advance at SCB with the ATM visa Debit card .... is this the best option ?
I am not sure if the building society will let me use OZForex .. ?
Any suggestions .....

Up to 50 years seems norm here. you can bang all you like and no age problem.

The survey questions are not adequately defined ....
It doesn't really have anything to do with ' minor offense ' ... it's more concerning if your a convicted criminal.
In a simple answer ..... yes .. They should be able to hold your passport, if you are considered a suspect person with criminal intent or they have or are investigating an offence that you may be involved.
If you are clean and have no record .... then it won't be a problem ...

I just hope they had fire insurance.

This is obviously an international syndicate with a ringleader .
The 74 yr old won't talk and she may be the ring leader. The bridge club may be a front for the high rollers involved, BIB await further interrogation and investigation.
How much may have been turned over in a single night ? who knows !! tea money !! ????

overstay is overstay, which ever way you look at it .... 3 yrs is a long time , he will probably be blacklisted and treated as an other overstayer .... I doubt he'll be allowed back for some time ....

I just thought of something !!
ask her ..... what about one of those baby dolls that everyone is on about

Are you being a bit paranoia ?..... I mean on the kids getting sick etc ... if they get a cold you take them to the doctor ... same as any parent would do.
You are correct ... there is a cost in having kids, but that's all just part & parcel as they say ....
But, I'm curious ... you married two weeks ago .... and now the kids has come up ....
didn't you know she would want a child before you married ?
wasn't it even mentioned prior to marriage ?

I very highly organized international syndicate involved in playing bridge, the 74 yr old lady may be the ring leader but it appears she's not talking so electric shock treatment may have to be applied.

God this guy is such a buffoon.
he's doing a pretty good job considering the mess left by his predecessors ...
somehow I just couldn't see Yingluck on the podium at the UN convention in the US recently ... I don't think anyone really took her seriously ....
Thank god someone with some balls could step up to the plate ...
