What does the average British expat think of Tommy?

Hi,

I have a couple of cheques from USA and Canadian banks (not personal cheques), and just wondering how hard/difficult it would be to cash them here rather than sending them back to homeland and wait for a money transfer.

Anyone had that experience?

Thanks in advance!

A friend of mine deposited a check from a U.S. bank into his Thai bank account.....it took 45 days to clear.

that's right, it would take some 45 days to clear a foreign check in thailand....

so the go-between can milk some interest from processing your honour's check....

but then if you have a seven digit acct with the bank.... the processing time is very much shorter....

just mighty curious.... in this day and age.... you are receiving physical checks from different countries....?

pray what sort of business are you engaged in pls...?

Send them home and only deal in direct credits in future.

Foreign cheques in Thailand (or anywhere)

Whats a cheque is it a bit like a 33 and a 1/3, 45, or 78

Bangkok Bank from personal experience US/Canada/UK personal checks 21 to 31 days. Government checks instant credit. Cost 10 USD at that days exchange rate.
