all sorts of nonsense will be sprouted by thai banks to stop you doing what you want with your own money.

first try the head office. if fails then try changing the money into another currency at a money changer, pounds i guess for you, then take the pounds to the bank and send that, best to ask first if they can send pounds.

i have been told that they can do it then when the transaction is complete they ring and call you back and say you cant. so get approval from as high as necessary before hand and probably best to use the head office of the bank.

try opening a new account. get atm card. send atm card to overseas. when it arrives tell the pin. then put the major money in the account. do it in that order. still be hit less than western union.

as posted by another member the same question,so here's the same answer,where and how did she come by the money.

Generally (i.e., doesn't cover all reasons) funds can be sent for the following reasons...documentation required will vary.

Funds can be transferred for any number of reasons, depending whether you are a Thai national or foreigner working in Thailand:

For Thai nationals

• Educational expenses
• Family support
• Living expenses
• Payment for goods
• Payment for services
• Travel expenses
• Personal expenses
• Gift
• Donation

For foreigners

• Salary repatriation

To transfer funds overseas you will need the following information:

• The recipient’s account name, account number and address
  
• The name and address of the recipient’s bank
  
• The SWIFT address of the bank that they have an account with (if any)
  
• Supporting document (Thai citizens – A document stating the purpose of the fund transfer; Foreigners - A document stating the source of the income).

Thanks for replys.. Soloution similar to ostrich pluckers bank acount and atm scheme ! Clearley she is entitled to money,, but convinceing the bank was a battle i cant be arsed to fight ... Cheers again
