BanK ATM charges for foreign cards

Could be, but how I read it (but I could be WRONG) is that after you send more then £2000 (per annum) you have to go with their supposed fee rate, but then again I could be wrong.

I need to bring some over in the next couple of months so will advise when I give it a try. Certainly better rates than I'm getting with the company I currently use but also I pay no fee. I will compare the two and post afterwards.

Thanks Freddy, interested to know as I regularly transfer money.

One more thing Freddy, I would also like to know how long it takes, because when I transfer now (weekday->weekday) it only takes from (approx) 3pm Thai Time (day 1) to around 8:30am (day 2).

Well I had to bite the bullet and transfer some money over. GBP to THB remains rubbish but if anything was getting worse.
I previously advised that I had set up an account with Xendpay. However, despite repeated correspondence and provision ( by me) of numerous available documents they wouldn't verify my account. Still unclear why as I have verified accounts with 2 other companies and also got verified in an hour with a new company on Monday this week.
So sorry, I can't provide anything further on the Xendpay service other than to say their verification requirements are bloody ridiculous.
I did quite a lot of trawling around and opened an account with TORfx. There rates were slightly better than my existing 2 companies (+.4) and only -.1 compared to Xendpay. No fees.
Communication excellent. Verification quick and simple, within an hour. I was phoned by one of their traders but when I advised I would just use the Internet service and wasn't sure what date I would transfer, there was no pressure. Just assured there for help if needed and call ended.
When I made the transaction confirmation emails were instant. 3 recieved, (1)confirming detail of transaction, (2) confirming funds recieved by them from me (3)confirming money sent to my Thai account.
Good service and competitive rates.
