Had it confirmed today, Bangkok bank have officially stopped all foreign transfers out of Thailand. Foreign nationals holding Bangkok Bank accounts wishing to send money out of Thailand are no longer permitted to do so.
????

Was this told to you by an employee of Bangkok Bank or is this a new policy which can be verified with some official documents / on their website etc? It does seem rather an extreme policy, hence I wonder how you know about it?

yesterday an overseas payment was taken from my account and I have a few that come out regularly, where did this info come from as it appears to not be the case if payments are still being taken from my Bangkok bank account

Walk into a Bangkok Bank today and try to send money out of Thailand from Your Bangkok bank of you have one. Not allowed by foreign nationals. Had my payment refused yesterday Head office rang my wife this morning to confirm it’s no longer allowed. 

The Branch rang back and online banking transfers are still allowed up to 1.5million

for Non Thai Nationals but branch transfers have been stopped.  

It seems that the OP got hold of some information which has now proven to be incorrect so we should close this topic.
