Doc50 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Sorry don't know the exact answer, just know that Paypal is such a pain in the *** to use, I DO NOT USE THEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thpitsch Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 These days i got a PayPal transfer to my Thai bank over 16,482.16 THB. Exactly this sum including the 16 Satang on my bank statement at Kasikorn. No fees at Kasikorn, no fees at PayPal. The only drawback is that PayPal sends Baht. And the exchange rate is worse than in Thailand. And the transfer takes 7 days. I am using my PayPal account for years and had no problems at all. Is there a better way to collect money worldwide?

mjnaus Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Paypal fees for transferring money from your Paypal account to bank account are 50 baht for amounts below 5.000 baht and NOTHING for amounts over 5.000 baht. That said, as Paypal forces you to change currencies with them instead of with your bank, be prepared to loose some money there (Paypal exchange rates are not great), these exchange rates can be found on their website or when changing one currencies into another. As to wether or not they are a pain to deal with; it varies... I am dealing both with Paypal in Europe (The Netherlands) and here in Thailand (based in Singapore) and I found Paypal Thailand/Singapore much easier to deal with then the European branch. Others might have different experiences though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
engrin Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Sorry for the hijack. I have a paypal account that was started in Canada and has US founds in it. I would like to send that money to my Thai account. Can I add a Thai account to my candadian paypal if I exchange the money to baht first or should I open a separate paypal account ?

mjnaus Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) For amounts below 5.000 baht, the fee is 5- baht. Everything north of 5.000 baht is transferred without a fee. Transfer time is between 5 - 7 days (usually it takes the full 7 days though). Edited July 8, 2011 by mjnaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been able to make this work (had similar ideas in the past). When setting up a US Paypal account, I am pretty sure you can only add US bank accounts to that Paypal account. For a Thai bank account you would need to create a Thai Paypal account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a Thai bank account you would need to create a Thai Paypal account. Yeah, that was my experience trying to add a Thai bank to an existing UK PP account. I simply created a Thai PP account in my name with a different email address and my BKK Bank details, money goes in and out of BKK Bank just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
