Getting Money Out Of Thailand

Featured Replies

Hi,looking for some advice.I recently sold my house and left the funds from the sale in my Thai bank account(Kasikorn bank).

I was planning to come to Thailand and change the money to pounds and physically take it back home with me but due to family issues i will be unable to come to Thailand this year.

Can anyone please advise me on the most efficient and cheapest way to get the money out of Thailand without having to go back over to Thailand and do it myself??.

Thanks in advance.

It might help others to give better replies if the ball park amount you want to move is stated ?

 

I would say it would be nighe impossible without comingyourself. Do you have an ATM card ?

Only other possibility is if your Kbank account already has internet banking then you can transfer it to yourself.

Otherwise you may send a Power of Attorney (not advisable) to someone in Thailand.

I sense there's something not quite right about the OP's request, it raises a series of question:

1) why did you leave it here when you went back to the UK, did you forget?

2) even if the house you sold was quite small the proceeds are likely to be in excess of THB 1 mill I would guess, that's GBP 20k and you can't get back here to withdraw it, that's quite odd.

3) most westerners these days will understand I imagine that without existing internet account facilities there's no way to transfer the funds without being here in person, is the OP fishing for something here?

You'll forgive my skepticism but I find the OP's request very strange and unusual, not trying to offend, just an observation.
