Wiring Methods

The "speed" of transmission depends on what you pay. (Banks- don't ya love 'em).

The problem is that the "clearance" now involves a period of time before the funds are "truly" there. This is 7 working days. However, funds can be expressed cleared in 3 working days if you pay for "express".

Thailand also has some vaguaries as well. The different banks do different things at branch level! So although the funds may have reached the Khon Khaen branch of the Siam Commercial Bank, how long they take to appear or not in the GF's book is a matter for the branch manager...

My first transmission took 9 working days. (7 plus 2). I subsequently had lunch with the manager of the bank. All my transactions now appear to clear in 3 days...

TIT (This is Thailand)

Hope this helps
