My guess is Thailand is responding to happenings around the world like EU refugees, Trump travel ban, and faked news stories in the USA election. The alert to a small nation is to beware of a vast influx of displaced persons that threaten to ... Read More

Have you used the system only in Bangkok Bank, BB, where deposits are made into your account at BB in New York and that BB sends ur money to Thailand BB? This is different from normal "wire transfer" of money.
Digby......... sounds likely...... Not telling rates is Thai similar to not allowing me to drive the Toyota I wanted to buy prior to buying. Yes the slogan is true..... Amazing Thailand. Read More

Bill, the SCB branch I opened my account was the one recommended to route my Mahidol University pay and did. That branch is directly across the street from Mahidol. Many days that I go in there, there is not one employee in there who has enough ... Read More
