Wire Transfers to LOS Bank Account

[PigDogg]

Every Thai bank is a little different.

With Ayudhya Bank for certain transactions you need a one time password that expires in 12 minutes. Once you get the password you enter it into the confirmation screen on your computer.

Luckily I am grandfathered and can receive the password by email but new account holders can only receive the one time password with a Thai mobile phone.

If you ever need someon in Thailand to quickly email a code to America, just let me know DT.

Advice: Dont deposit your home currency notes with KBank.  I exchange those at the specialist providers like Vasu Exchange in Bangkok.  Rates are usually 0.5 - 0.7 baht better on sterling (& an extra 0.1 on largest demonination notes!)  Which is worth having on any larger amounts of cash.   Not sure if TT Exchange in Pattaya (no relation   ) is as good as Vasu on rates, but better than all the bank exchange booths.

Can one do wire wire transfers to Vasu? Or just for notes and traqvelers checks?

Not aware that Vasu offer any money transfer facilities, just cash TCs I think.

Vasu deals with cash only, no traveler's cheques or debit cards.

They give the best rates for cash exchange.

Rx, is there a Vasu in Pattaya? If so, I can exchange my US $ there and then take the baht to deposit at Kasikorn (assuming they give a better exchange than Kasikorn)

Sorry DT, Vasu is only in Bangkok - only one branch I know of on Sukhumvit Soi 11.
