Sending money to UK

[PJ71]

I need to send some money to a uk account.

 

It's best to send baht and take the Ex rate at the recieving bank, right?

 

Thanks.

What was the exchange rate & fees i.e. how many GBP arrived for how many THB please?

I sent GBP 20,000 from my Bkk Foreign Currency Account to my UK bank. Took one day, but cost GBP126, about 0.63%. No WP, retired.

It had been accepted as part of my THB 800,000 by my IO, but I needed it urgently in UK.

Bought GBP at branch so the amount arriving was the amount sent. 1150 baht fees. Can't remember the exchange rate  at Bangkok Bank whatever the rate was last Tuesday.

Foreign Exchange Rates (bangkokbank.com)  44.7850 today to BUY GBP at TT transfer rate.  They will only give you 43.57750 for a quid.
