Help Transferring Money To Thai Bank

[Shrek]

We are trying to transfer money to a friend who has an account with BAAC (Bank of Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives) and having problems. The telegraphic transfer fails to recognise the name of the bank. Anyone any idea ?

Try asking the friend to ask the bank if they have a SWIFT code ?

dont think they have one I couldnt find one on the net and have just been on swift.com you can search banks and the name returns nothing

Most likely BAACBKTH.

Mind, I've never heard of a bank called "Bank of Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives". You sure it's not just Kasikorn (Thai Farmers) Bank?

It does exist several banking pages on the net have addresses and phone numbers but no mention of swift or bic codes

That is a specialized government financial service and is not a real bank. I seriously doubt you can transfer money into such an account (we have not been able to do so from bank accounts inside Thailand).
