Naam Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) SWIFT transfer takes max 48 hours. get the SWIFT code of your bank and instruct your bank in Europe accordingly. Edited December 9, 2011 by Naam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djayz Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatboy Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 as long as you state what its for there will be no problem,the way the euro is going buy another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveroc Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 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.

FalangBaa Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exeter Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) 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" Edited December 9, 2011 by exeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasikorn Kasikorn Branch Königswusterhausen, Bavaria? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naam Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 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.
