I'm concerned I may get gouged by a Thai bank , I did see the pinned thread related to on this topic, but was 5 years old (and I can't read all 8 pages of it )

My bank in MY will give me a better rate than the bank here, I get confusing answers when I call the banks, too.

Can I send THB ?

Thanks

From Malaysia, You should make a wire transfer in US$ to your Thai bank account. Do not let the bank convert your RM to Thai baht and do the wire as the exchange rate of RM to THB suck big time.

+1

Sorry I should have said USD

I called three Thai banks and asked what the rate was, 29.43 CIMB Thai, 30.67 Ayud , 30.40 Kasi

then I called the My bank and it was an avrg point better 31.08

Kasikorn confirms they will take Thai baht , on two separate calls - 500 baht to transfer in ( and they do have a English number but the voice menu is horrid !!!! three tries to get to a person ( you have pressed an invalid code, Goodbye. ) and the hold messages are Thai nursery school level ads. 02 888 8800

Sorry can't remember the magic code to get to a person.
