Swift Transfers (T/T) Transfer Times

2011-03-17 12:26:31

Is there anyone on the forum who can explain why the transfer times of SWIFT transfers to Thai bank accounts can be so different.
Sometimes the transfer will arrive within the same business day - other timesit takes up to 7 days ??

Asking the banks there seems to be no consistent answer - mostly they say it takes 3-7 days depending on country of origin , the currnecy remitted, and the amount.

In Singapore, UK, Australia we never have these problems. Maximum transfer time is overnight (ie: 24 hours).

What it is with Thailand and SWIFT transfers.

Occassionally have used Western Union and transfer to receivign money takes about 10 minutes. More expensive than SWIFT for sure but at least timing is guaranteed.

Any insights or experiences welcome.

Bar Inspections This Week

2011-03-05 15:01:22

Just to let you all know.

Was out last night at a bar owned by aThai friend. There was a panic on !!!

Reason - there is a large inspection team in town from Bangkok. They will be inspecting all bars and entertainment venues over the next week to make sure thye comply with licencing, staffing, and all the other rules including trading hours..

Sounds like the annual "check up".

SO Iam sorry to say it seems some late night activity will be abit restricted for a week.

They arrived yesterday. Inspections started yesterday.

Hi, we are looking at staying at these resorts by X2 in Samui and Kui Buri and possibly buying a Residence with them. Wondering if anyone has stayed with them before and has comments. Much appreciated.
