Popular Post mlkik Posted July 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) I recently transfered ฿800 000 which was 18.200 pounds worth of baht back to the UK from my Bangkok Bank account. Just go into your bank and tell them you want to make an international transfer to your UK bank account . You will have to fill out a form and your money will be in your account within a few days. You will need your passport and your UK bank account IBAN number and Swift code. Edited July 30, 2022 by mlkik 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent mine in Pounds Sterling as the Bangkok Bank has a better exchange rate than my UK bank. When I send money to Thailand from the UK I also send it in Sterling.

Whatever service you will use, they will always exchange your baht to pound before they send it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not cash you are sending as it is an electronic transfer. It is only a question of when you have your currency converted into Sterling. If you transfer ฿ it will not arrive in your account as ฿ as it will be automaticaly converted into Sterling.
