Transferring money to the US from Thailand

[michael888]

What is the best (cheapest) way to transfer money to the states. Will be traveling there also, is it better to withdraw with my Thai debit card when I get there? Thank you

[michael888]

will be transferring from bank to bank most likely, unless there is a more cost efficient method. I've heard about some ridiculous fees. Also, would it be cheaper to do with internet banking?

How much are you talking about? I don't remember the fees, but didn't have any problems doing a SWIFT transfer from my Bangkok Bank account to my U.S account. If not a huge amount, exchange Baht for dollars in Thailand.

I will be visiting Thailand in a feww weeks and a friend has asked me to bring cash in new $100 bills because he can get a better exchange rate.

Yes, if exchanging cash, new $100 bills get the best exchange rate, But ATM and wire rates will still be better.
