I aint your nurse or nanny. Look at the Bangkok Bank website in USA - or any anywhere else. Come back with proof if you find they have full unrestricted banking licences for residential banking business - offering accounts to US Citizens and all that. If you do I will accept that and stand corrected. Now - did you read those articles in Asean Now. Did you Google the other websites for similar stories. I bet not. Prove me wrong. Tomorrow anytime is fine. You said they had no banks, i proofed you wrong. I was your nurse / nanny, don't try to reverse the narrative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You posted that there are no Thai banks operating in any 1st world country . There are. Obnviously I was referring to residential banks - like ther banks in Thailand I/we use - which is what the OP was talking about. Go away and troll someone else - and get a life mate - try marrying a Thai girl - far less frustrating than buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do some research. In the 1st world all funds are Govt Guaranteed in the full-licence Banks. Garbage. There are no banks in, for example, the UK, US or EU that guarantee 100% of funds deposited in those area's banks, without an upper limit. If you think that there are, there or anywhere else, specify them. Do some research. Wrong - but I have said all I will say in last reply - go troll someone else - and get a life MATE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No banks anywhere in the "1st world", as you put it, have unlimited deposit protection, as you claim. It there were any, you'd have quoted them.

Being accurate and debunking falsehoods is trolling, is it? But your constantly posting incorrect information, making false accusations of my posting here under more than one name and reverting to lame insults is ok? I see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are wrong, because cash over AUD 10k does indeed need approval, because it needs to be declared to Austrac (Australia's anti money laundering agency, not ABF) prior to travel. Travellers must complete a form and provide evidence to show the money comes from a legitimate source. Follow the link in my previous post. No, I am not wrong, that pre-arrival at Customs declaration is an option. From the instructions on that declaration...

There are commercial banks, investment banks and retail banks, among others, but I've never come across a "residential" bank in all the years I worked in banking in the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you convert 10M THB to AUD and front up at the border without the prior approval from Austrac. Then what if they don't believe your story or need more proof of where the money came from? They seize it until they're satisfied. You're giving really bad advice, and I doubt you'd take the risk yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be assuming that the OP wouldn't be able to explain the source of his funds...why assume that? If he can show how he legitimately got the money, it won't be confiscated.

Sooo.... it's much more prudent to get Austrac approval before you go, rather than risk an overzealous official at the border not being satisfied with your (foreign) evidence, and confiscating all your cash. It stands to reason that the best advice is to play it as safe as possible, when 10+ million Baht is involved .... I would, and I'm sure you would too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I didn't agree with was your claim that it has to be done in advance when it is an option. It doesn't makes any difference, whatsoever, if those carrying over 10k, legitimately, can prove that. That evidence of bank transactions, etc., showing the legitimacy of the cash comes from an overseas bank (that has no less status or credibility than any Australian bank) should not have any adverse bearing on Customs' case.
