In Topic: Transfering Money To Uk

I transferred 650,000 baht last week from my account at Bank of Ayudhya.   A little bit of form filling but no questions asked as to where it came from or why I wanted to transfer it.
I did it in the afternoon, and the following morning I checked my UK bank account online and it was there.  The fee was 1,700 baht.

Would just like to say that yesterday afternoon I went to my bank, Bank of Ayudhya , Sukhumvit Road, Pattaya, and sent home 650,000 baht.   Everything was carried out extremely professionally and smoothly.   I was not asked for a work permit or why I was sending the money home.   The commission was 1,700 baht.

I checked my bank account this morning and the money is there, so very pleased with the whole process.

Just show the bank your work permit and it's no problem to send money home.

Correct...no issue of course you need to put on the form "family support/expenses"

That's good news to know it won't be a problem.   Family support means a lot to Thais, so I'll remember to put that  on the form.   Thank you very much.

Considering Christmas is not celebrated here I do not understand why anyone would think the government offices would be closed.  As far as I know they will close on 31 December as NYE is a holiday here and also 1st of January which might then include Monday as a extra day.

You really should get your facts right before posting something like this.   You could have had people turning up on Christmas Day/Boxing Day only to find the office closed, and possibly causing them to be fined for overstay etc.

Looked at the menu and it's far too expensive.   Also, they've just put the prices up on nearly all their chippy menu.
