Does Bangkok Bank have a branch in London?

"Important Note
You cannot transfer funds from Bangkok Bank's account in Thailand to your account with banks or online payment service providers in the US via Bangkok Bank's New York branch and the ACH system. If you initiate direct debit or ACH debit transactions to Bangkok Bank's New York branch, banks in the US and online payment service providers may suspend your account."
That's interesting. So it seems as though the Banks in Thailand want to make it easy to bring money into Thailand and want to make it very difficult to take money out of Thailand.

Do they have a choice? What makes them attractive for a foreigner to use any of them, except as a necessity because a person lives here? Pete :cheers:

So does that mean you can pay a cheque into the London branch of the Bangkok Bank for someone else to draw it out from the Hua Hin branch of the Bangkok Bank...? I'm confused.

I'm just trying to find a cheaper alternative to Western Union who charge extortionate money to transfer funds.

If it's for your Mrs Randy, why not just open a Nationwide account or a get a Halifax Clarity card and give your Mrs the card?
