wildwildbill Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simoh1490 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Exchange for Pounds in Thailand and do a SWIFT (TT) transfer, DO NOT send THB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

wildwildbill Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simoh1490 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
