At 10am we went to Krungthai Central Hatyai. 

Enormous queues but staff extremely helpful and they contacted Kasikorn. 

The money arrived in my our bank at 12:16pm and it was different this time. 

It said "Adjust inward remittance".

 

Thanks to everyone who posted. 

I also sent money with Remitly earlier to Bangkok bank and it arrived within a minute.

Good to hear that everything worked out for you in the end. For anyone interested this is what a credit advice note issued  by Kasikorn looks like:

 

that is a very useful suggestion. do you have a reference to the website and do you know if they recognise correspondence in English? my SCB bank has bee rejecting my transfers from my CIBC Canada account, for the past 6 months. 

anyone here receivng Canadian CPP/OAS and using Wise Canada? I have been advised that  Services Canada will require Wise Canada to approve the application form . I cannot see that happening.

Yes, but I have my CPP and OAS deposited in to a Canadian bank.  

 

Then I transfer the money from the Canadian bank to Wise.  And once in Wise I can leave it there (to pay for my travels outside of Thailand) or I can transfer the money from Wise to Thailand. 

 

I used to use BMO (for CPP/OAS receipt) but BMO have made it difficult for me to access my BMO account as a non-resident of Canada.

 

So last month, when visiting Canada, I opened a Scotiabank account (where they have my Thailand address as my residence, and my sister's Canadian address as my mailing address) and I initiated a change with Service Canada to have my OAS and CPP go to Scotiabank. That should take place end-December. 

 

As soon as that OAS/CPP transfer to Scotiabank is confirmed (end-December), I plan to close my BMO account.

 

I have yet to try a transfer from ScotiaBank to Wise, but i don't anticipate any difficulty.

 

Do you still have a Canadian Bank account?  Both Scotiabank and Royal Bank will allow Canadian citizens, who are non-residents of Canada (but who are residents of Thailand), to open Bank accounts with them.
