    Internet banking in Thailand

    By dillpickles98, Created on: 08/08/2009, Last updated on: 06/01/2014

    » Internet Banking in Thailand For the last 6 months i have tried to set up ACH banking from the U.S. to Thailand. The problem was when the trail deposits were posted from my U.S. Bank to BKK Bank of course they were only in Thai Baht. To complete verification one must enter the exact amount of the...

    • paddy commented : [quote="Silaworld":3k5cw021]I have a Euro-account and 3 ThaiBaht-accounts (in different provinces) since about 5 years without problems with Bangkok Bank. Recently I opened Bualuang Ibanking and this works entirely to my satisfaction. Transferring money from Euro to Baht or inverse is a piece of cake. Transfers happen online and you know your rate. Transfer limit is 500.000 Baht/dayly. At the beginning when I opened something new, Bankstaff always asked for workpermit... but when I told them No Workpermit, everything still Ok. Actually, many westerner banks might take some lessons from major Thai banks.[/quote:3k5cw021] 500,000 baht daily limit on transfers out of Thailand ? How does that work? I tried to transfer 200 euros from my SCB bank to my Euro bank. SCB confirmed that i could not do it at their branch (it was not authorized), but that I could do this online, to save on fees. When I tried to make the online transfer, SBC's Easynet screen requested me to prepare and submit a request form to BOT, explaining what the purpose was for the use of the funds. Yes, that was for 200 euros! I gave up, afer my bank branch said they had no reply from the BOT. In the coming months of the new year, I will have a significant amount of cash which I want to transfer to a long-standing bank account in another country.
