I want to buy a condo and I would like to send 60.000 euro to my Thai account, is this possible and is there any possibility that it is here in a couple of days.

SWIFT transfer takes max 48 hours. get the SWIFT code of your bank and instruct your bank in Europe accordingly.

Yes

No problem and shouldn't tale more than 3-4 working days to hit your account in Thailand.When I was buying my condo I was told any money transferred to Thailand for this purpose should include "for condo" (or something similar) on the transfer. I don't remember why so you should ask the sales agent about this (this regulation may have changed in the last 12 months).

as long as you state what its for there will be no problem,the way the euro is going buy another one.

When transferring the funds, request your overseas Bank to add the clause "purchase of condo". When the funds arrive, request your Thai Bank to issue you with a Foreign Exchange Certificate. In years ahead should you sell the condo and want to remit the funds away from Thailand you will need this certificate as evidence you brought the funds into Thailand originally.

More to the point, why are you paying 60K euros for a condo in PHUKET? You can get a decent brand new one for about 25K or 1 million baht in a number of places. You're paying more than double the going rate!

Ever heard that condo prices depend on size?

OR maybe the Thai GF is involved and the family are getting a cut..

No problem as said earlier mark for purchase of condo. Mine got held up in the compliance department for a few days and had to ring a person there, just checking all was straight and above board, then she released in my account. I also told the manager at my local thai bank the money would be coming. It is just to avoid "money laundering"

Not surprised.

I think he means the bank from where the money is send.

I have the same sometimes with HSBC when amounts transferred are larger than usual.

I've been extremely reluctant to say bad things about Kasikorn Thai bank, because so many others here seem to have good experiences. BUT, if I were to say something about it I'd say it was the worst bank I've ever encountered on four continents and you'd have to be an absolute idiot (which i was at one time) to conduct any of your financial affairs there. If banking had a kindergarten, Kasikorn Thai would be somewhere just before that.

OK, I'm re-thinking my prior objections.

i think it depends not only on the branch but also on the individual employee you deal with. besides Siam Commercial i am also a client of Kasikorn. several weeks ago i wanted to open an account having three beneficiaries, was asked "why!", answered "that's none of your business!" and received the reply "no can do!"

after making some derogatory comments in a language nobody but me understood and adding in english "well, if you don't want my money..." another lady approached me "what is the problem? can i help your Sir" and things were settled in a bit more than half an hour which was needed by three persons signing each a heap of papers without knowing what was printed on them.
