The fastest way is called Internet banking....you'll need a computer.

Failing that, a telephone?

Check out BahtSmart.

or OFX.com ...excellent service can do via bPay in your ANZ account.

I think Wireless Road is only a representative office as I believe ANZ cannot trade retail here.

Internet transfers from ANZ to Bangkock Bank take 2 or 4 days. I believe the delay is in the Bangkock Bank.

Bahtsmart (www.bahtsmart.com). Forget using the banks. Bahtsmart offer an excellent service - competitive exchange rates, not the very best, but this is made up for in that it is free of fees and much, much faster. Not only that they advise you of progress of the transaction.

I left the banks' transfer services behind years ago in favour of third party transfer agencies. Bahtsmart is the best I have found.

well maybe I am not senile...things may be changing.

they only had a representative office here but now the website says provides a range of services to corporate clients.

Not sure what that consists of.

I send once a fortnight ANZ to BKKB by internet banking , have done this for 4 years with ANZ and have had no problems, before that I used CBA for 2 decades and had no problems.

more than $5000aud needs to be done over the phone. Had to do that when buying a condo.

Could just be my account though

If you have internet banking With ANZyou have the option to apply for vaying daily and international limits I have set mine at $10000 which took a few days to set up. It was no problem to do in Australia but I am not sure about setting up the limit from here.
