Banking & Payment Details for Thailand
Thailand uses BAHTNET for high-value transfers and the domestic PromptPay system. International transfers typically arrive via SWIFT through a correspondent bank. You will need the recipient's bank name, branch name, and account number. Some banks also accept transfers to PromptPay-linked accounts for faster settlement.
Tips for Sending GBP to Thailand
Thai banks typically charge a receiving fee of 200-500 THB for incoming international transfers.
The Bank of Thailand monitors large incoming transfers. Amounts over 50,000 USD equivalent may require additional documentation.
If buying property in Thailand, be aware that the transfer must be registered with the receiving Thai bank using a Tor Tor 3 form.
The GBP/THB rate is less liquid than major pairs -- margins tend to be wider. Compare carefully.
Regulatory & Tax Considerations
Key rules and thresholds when transferring money between United Kingdom and Thailand
UK FCA Authorisation Required
All money transfer providers operating in the UK must be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as an Authorised Payment Institution or Electronic Money Institution. Every provider in our comparison holds an active FCA authorisation. You can verify this at register.fca.org.uk.
UK: Transfers Over £10,000
UK money transfer providers are required to collect additional information for transfers over £10,000 under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. You may need to provide proof of source of funds (e.g. payslip, sale contract, bank statement). This is standard compliance -- not a sign of a problem.
Capital Gains on Currency Movements
If you hold a foreign currency balance and the exchange rate moves in your favour before converting back to GBP, any gain over the annual exempt amount (£3,000 for 2024/25) may be subject to Capital Gains Tax. This primarily affects people holding large amounts in foreign accounts.
Thailand: BOT Regulations
The Bank of Thailand requires documentation for inbound transfers exceeding USD 50,000 (or equivalent). Your recipient may need to provide a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form to their bank.
Thailand: Tor Tor 3 for Property
If buying property in Thailand, the incoming funds must be documented via a Tor Tor 3 (Foreign Exchange Transaction Form) at the receiving Thai bank. Without this form, you cannot register property ownership.
