Is There A Bank That Will Not Convert My Transfer To Thb

[radiola]

I want to do a transfer from europe and I want that a bank keeps the money in euros so I can withdraw euros without the need to change the euros to thb and back to euros

[janverbeem]

I know kasikorn bank has Euro accounts and a few other currencies for that matter,but I guess most other banks may have the same.

No problem, SCB, BKK and others all offer this facility.

1% fee on withdrawal if you take out physical EUR, and for significant amounts you will have to give a few days' notice.

I have siam bank

These banks are so stupid, I registered acccount in krabi and I cant go into siam bank here in BkK and withdraw all my money. I have to use atm and limit 20000 is killing me.

Sucks, I have never seen this, in my country you can withdraw in the bank in each bank, not only where you opened the account

stupid system

now I have to I guess open a new account again in bkk and close the one in krabi

With Kasikorn you can withdraw from any branch but if the branch is in a different region from where you open the account they charge you a fee each time you do a transaction. Surprised be too when I encountered those fees but I guess that it's better than not being able to use other regions' branches as with Siam Bank.

The fee is only 30 baht and before you get off your bike - Banks in Aust charge if you go to the counter instead of using the ATM outside - it is called "service assistance fee"!

I had a Euro acc. with Kasikorn bank in Hua Hin. I couldn't withdraw my Euros from any other branch except the one I opened the account at. This is going back 1 year, it may have changed since then or it may just have been an incompetent employee who didn't know any better.

Didn't say that it was a huge fee, and yes I know that banks in Western countries are far more brazen in the fees that they hit consumers with.

Maybe the banks in Thailand really do incur some extra expenses on inter-regional transactions. I'm sure that they would not just be making up fees for no reason.

That could still be true with Euro-denominated accounts. My experience with KBank is only with a standard Thai baht savings account.

The yellow bank (Ayuthaya) has Foreign currency accounts, I was there yesterday, and issue a FC Credit card.
