Sending money to GF

[Boundstone]

yes this is true, my GF has found an ATM that doesnt charge. My friend Andy in Pataya was using Caxtonfx card and got charged, but he was very happy with the rate, theres no commision fees either.. i thoroughly recommend it, use it my self when im over there

Hi Coffee corner  yes i am a Brit  .If I was to put £90 in your UK account Monday morning, what would you be able to give my girl in baht.  This would be very handy. shes only in Kohk ma, Regards Russ

The cost to transfer from the UK is GBP 9.50 for me - I will go 50/50 with you as I need to transfer some money. That gives you the choice of putting in (cash or Internet transfer) GBP 94.75 and I pay out 90.00 net to your G/F or pay in 90.00 and I will pay out 85.25.

Kasikorn rate is showing at 48.1375 and they take 0.25% min 200 baht + 20 Baht for inter province transfer. To keep it easy, I would give 48 dead as an exchange rate.  Thai banks are closed on Monday by the way.

That means your girl will get either 4,320 Baht or 4,090 Baht.

If you want to go ahead let me know and I will PM my UK bank details. When I see the deposit I can pay out the Baht.

Black Dog, I believe that is still the case.

(but get a local bank account if you are a regular visitor).

I believe I read somewhere -no doubt on another forum- that Aeon had finally joined everyone else and were charging.

Perhaps you read something after a night on Sangsom ! 

JF Chandler on TV.com is the best authority on ATM fees and his last post at the end of June stated:-

The AEON ATMs are the best, most widely available ATM option in Thailand that doesn't charge the 150 baht withdrawal fee on non Thai bank cards, a fee that is basically is charged by all the Thai bank ATMs.

So - unless you find a different source, I believe you are in error.
