Best way to send money back to the UK

Featured Replies

Any ideas what would be the safest and cost effective method to send a six figure (Baht) amount back to the UK? I have a current account with Bangkok Bank. Thanks!

Exchange for Pounds in Thailand and do a SWIFT (TT) transfer, DO NOT send THB.

So send via Bangkok Bank but request a GBP transfer via Swift?

You cannot send as Baht, it's not allowed so the bank will automatically exchange it into the currency matching the destination. Just tell the bank you want to send your funds to the UK and provide the bank details, they'll know to transfer via SWIFT, there's no alternative for them to use apart from a carrier pigeon.

OK. Thanks. Any idea what charges there will be? Can't see any mention of charges on their website. I am guessing it will also take a few days to transfer?

It takes anywhere from a few hours to a few days and the cost is minimal, others can probably post more recent costs/charges than me.
