BillR Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hello, I sent a wire transfer to Krung Thai Bank in bangkok from the USA which was value dated for the next day (meaning it was to be received in thailand) but now it is 5 days later and the wire still has not credited to receivers account. I have sent many wires here in the past and have never seen one take longer than 3 days. Is this normal? Should i be concerned? I could trace the wire but would rather hold off.

farang prince Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I always used to experience a five-day delay in wire transfers from my brokerage to my bank in Bkk. If the transfers are large amounts, the banks like to keep the money for an extra day or two to skim off the interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEENTHEREDONETHAT Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 When I wire money to Hua Hin from New Zealand it typically takes 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuky Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I get paid on the 25th of each month, the transfer is normally in my BBK Bank around the 29th or 30th. It has been like this for several years. Don't panic, it should arrive any time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soutpeel Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) Had occasion a few years ago where quite a large wire transfer between Singapore and Thailand "disappeared" for 31 days, made the transfer went back to work and never thought any more about it, till 29 days later got home and found it hadnt appeared in the account it was suppose to. Call to my bank in Singapore...Yes Sir transfer effected the day instructed to account given etc etc... Called the Thai bank..no have, no have....Singapore no do, Singapore no good...blah blah Call to Singapore bank Manager....Thailand bank says you have f*kced up....Bank Manager in Singapore on phone to Thai bank and turns the Thai bank..bless their little hearts had decided to transfer the amount into a "holding account" and not put it in the account as instructed.... Singapore bank managers comment.....these people are incompetent... So whats the moral of my little tale ?......3-5 days max transfer not in your account start asking questions Edited August 24, 2010 by Soutpeel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Dog Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Just as an update, Siam Commercial did great. It took less than 18 hours from submission in the USA until I saw the balance here in Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took less than 18 hours from submission in the USA until I saw the balance here in Chiang Mai. Here's an update. Last August had an 18 hour transfer. Now have been waiting for seven days for my account to be credited. Anyone else seeing long delays on wire transfers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now have been waiting for seven days for my account to be credited. Anyone else seeing long delays on wire transfers? It's possible that the destination account is incorrect or the sender has only specified 1 name i.e. you need to specify the destination account with first name and family name (initial for first name should be enough). If only the family name specified the money gets held until you go in in person to claim the money, This happened to me once even though the account number was correct.

Outgoing instructions are correct and the banks are looking into it. I've done this a half dozen times before and this is the first time anything like this has happened.
