KamnanT Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 THB 1,700 is a bit toppy - Bangkok Bank charges 400 baht for a transfer initiated over the counter, 300 baht for one initiated online. Most banks quote two prices for a TT (telegraphic transfer): one for "split charges" (sender pays charges in Thailand, recipient pays charges from their bank) and one for "sender pays" (charges from both sending and receiving bank paid by the sender). THB 1,700 sounds more like the charge for the latter option. Not sure if Bangkok Bank would accept a TT order from a someone who isn't already a Bangkok Bank client. They probably would as long as you have a passport and the amount isn't too large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anto Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks Kamnan .As it happens i went to Bangkok Bank yesterday ( i do also have an a/c with them ) and they were cheaper at B1,150 ( made up of 2 charges B850 and B300 ) .At both banks i asked for all charges to be paid on the Thai side .
