Best Way To Send Money To The Uk?

[ianwuk 19]

I am planning to study next year and I need to send money back to the UK to pay for my course.

The amount that I need to send back is around 84,000 Baht which is due at the end of the year.

Usually I use Western Union for sending money back to the UK, how much would I pay on a fee of this amount? Is it better to split the amount in to two separate transactions?

I also have online banking with Kasikorn, can that help me in this situation? The online account is for my main account though, not my savings account, so I am thinking is cannot?

Finally, work permitting, I will be actually going to the UK in November, would it be easier to just withdraw the amount from a UK ATM with my Kasikorn ATM card?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Can't you transfer money from your savings account to your main account and then send it through online banking?

I thought about that. Can you set up a UK bank account through Kasikorn online banking?

Thanks.
