TIT.........I won a large pot of money in the Lottery 10/11 years ago, couldn't use it to buy a condo..........only way would I could have done it was to send it to my bank in US and bring it back into Thailand  -  asinine law but thats the facts - also to deter drug dealers from laundering money in Thailand.............

Every country wants foreign currency and foreign investment. It grows the economy, creates demand for the local currency and is a net gain.

 

When you buy a condo, Thailand becomes a few million baht richer.
