Hi went into siam bank the other day and want to send money over to the uk from my siam account and they told me that they charge 50baht in every 500 baht ,so 10% to send my money which adds up to alot if i want to send 2m baht,does anyone know of any cheaper ways of getting my money out of thailand.many thanks.

Is it possible that you misunderstood what the bank employee told you?

Are you sure the bank is called “Siam Bank”?

A cheap ticket with cash in a container to a place where you can do the transfer..

If you want to know the cheapest way of doing this please PM me...

Alternatively - go to super rich and change your money to USD, EUR or GBP and then go to another country - this is now farang money and will be alot smaller in size and less noticeable...

it is the siam commercial bank,i have an account with them,im sure thats what they said,my gf told me too!

I use my atm card. small charge, but you can shop around for useage rates. 500 dollars for 50 cents is .1 percent

You may wanna check again. I recently sent a similar amount and was charged, I think, 500 baht. Maybe there's an upper limit

Definitely a misunderstanding, then. Pleas see this page on the web site of Siam Commercial Bank:
