kimamey Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I've been sending money from the UK to Thailand for years (currently with Xe.com) but now I need to send funds the other way. My money is in a Krungthai account that I use for my visa but the 400,000 THB would be more use in the UK right now. Xe don't operate from Thailand so I can't use them so I'm wondering if anyone has any idea of the best way to do this. It may even require moving the money into a different Thai bank. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KannikaP Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Can a transfer not be done with your bank. Bangkok Bank can do it, at a pretty poor exchange rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a partner bank for Wise, so actually, no money moves from country to country. All smoke & mirrors, but it works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walailak Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 6 hours ago, kimamey said: My money is in a Krungthai account Good evening, Send money out of Thailand to Australia twice last year using Krungthai App as a KTB Foreign Remittance, using the bank account to bank account option. Money supposedly takes few days but both times it look less than 11 minutes to arrive at my Australian bsnk account. Make sure you let the other side pay for the fees as it works out cheaper than what ktb charges. Very straightforward process.
