Don't know what your on about sorry, if I want money Monday to Friday no problem a couple of hours if that, on a Saturday or Sunday I get Monday.

 I am 'on about' that , if you put the reason as 'long term stay in Thailand' the transfer will take longer than if you put say family & friends.

Sorry I am off topic.

    Can somebody explain in layman's terms what it means?   Is the below true?:   1. If I have 5 million in one bank, I'll get only 1 million back if the bank goes bust.   2.

So which are the safest banks here. We know already the GSB. Then a read that the Government Housing Bank is also safe. What is with the Thai Military Bank and the Krung Thai Bank? 

Thai Panit(SCB) is owned by the Crown Bureau, it will never go bust.

Thanks for the info, guys.

 

From GSB web site:  "Details of Interest Rate 1. Less than 30 Million Baht 0.925 % per year".

 

Looks like I'll be paying my SCB lady bank teller a visit soon. ????  (To take out some cash.)

But first I'll visit the GSB in Chalong - quite handy as I live in Rawai!

 

Do you have a link to "Details of Interest Rate 1. Less than 30 Million Baht 0.925 % per year". ?

Actually, I withdrew 1 million from Krungsri today and put it in my Krung Thai current account (no interest).

 

The odd thing was, Krungsri ran out of packs of 100 x 1,000 baht notes. After putting 6 through the counting machine, she had to put 8 packs of 100 x 500 baht notes.

 

And the poor Krung Thai cashier got sore fingers taking off the bands, counting the packs and putting the bands (inside out) back on the packs. ????
