Chuck and all, ACH money transfers using Bangkok Bank NY routing number will be discontinued in April 2019. Alternate methods include TransferWise account or Swift. Costs will increase I am sure.
Yes I guess we all figure something else out when the time comes.
Hey chuck I bring my bike to Thailand all the time in a bike bag. It counts as part of my check in luggage and doesn’t cost me any extra.The name of the bag is evoc and I highly recommend it.You just dump the bag off at oversized baggage counter and pick it up from the same at the other end of the journey.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience...
Justin Littlewood thanks for the information
Justin Littlewood, thanks for sharing your experience. Question: What type of visa are you arriving on?
James Press depends on how long I’m coming for if I am only coming for 1 month just a visa on arrival
Cheers for another great chat chuck , I’m from the south of England and I understand every word you say 👍.. lovely Paige is looking fine 🤪
Hello Paige and Chuck. Thanks. Another great video blog. My countdown to retire is about 16 months. But plan to visit this winter. You answered a lot of my questions!
Hi Chuck, Thank you 🙏 so much for the additional info. I will be retiring to Bangkok in about a month. I always enjoy 😊 your vlogs and get valuable info from your channel. I even learned a few Thai words from you. All the best!
Hi Chuck, Debbie and I love your blogs. With the backing of your lovely wife and family you're doing a great job. We subscribe because we want to learn about Thailand Thai people, and language. We hope to visit soon and maybe retire. Your lifestyle blogs are very educational for us, especially when you explain conversational Thai language. BTW please don't worry about those who would point out errors in your English pronunciation, or your accent. Long live the difference!
Thank you for this video Chuck, I live near NYC and I was going to open a bank account with Bangkok bank in NYC ! I appreciate your words of caution. Lotsa great questions and answers !
Thank you for another great post, as always, Chuck.
Informative, useful, entertaining and totally lacking in BS.
By the by, your comment about how we Australians are often incomprehensible made laugh.
It's happened to me quite a lot with English speakers from other nations, and I know my diction/intonation/pronunciation is (are?) very good.
Keep up the great work and I hope our paths cross when we move over there.
Great Q and A session Chuck. Thanks
As Always, THANK YOU for the time you take to ease our minds and inquiries about your life in Thailand and our desires to have such an AWESOME LIFE As Yours Appears To Be. Best Always To Paige & Yourself, Sir!!!!! Thomas.
Great info Chuck, and as always your patience and willingness to answer questions continues to impress me.
Thanks for sharing Chuck and Paige.
Hi Chuck. About the language issue "Vietnamese". Englisch is not my first language. In 1980 I learned English in New York. I understand your English extremely well. It is a big advantage for people like me that you talk not so fast. I have much more problems to understand people from England. Don't change anything about your language it is perfekt how it is. Greetings from Switzerland - Markus
LOVE THE VIDEOS CHUCK ,TELL PAIGE HELLO AND YALL HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND
Another great video Chuck, I love your take on Thailand and Thai culture, my 17 year old son has started watching your blogs with me and enjoys them very much. I will be leaving for Thailand in 2 days👍let me know if I can bring anything for you. Pizza sauce? hahaha
Thanks Chas and son
There was a place in Germany that had to put in a tunnel but the other way around - for the frogs to cross underneath the road. When they would migrate in large groups the carnage was so bad that the road got slippery and it was dangerous.
Love your videos my Southern Brother, been retired here in Thailand since July 2015.
If I watch long enough I might find something to critique Chuck. 😂 Interesting q&a
Excellent Q and A Chuck, really enjoyed it thank you
Try getting into a discussion on the Internet about how to pronounce "Z" hahaha. Or what about the word "pronounciate" btw.. That´ll keep the gramma-OCD´s happy for months 555 You already have had a lot of fun with Farang/Falang :D Take care, best wishes to you and the mafia-gang Chuck and thanks for keeping these great videos coming :)
Thank you Chuck and Paige for a great informative Q and A session. Yes I always click like. Sanida.
G’day Chuck
I was laughing so hard with your comment about “do they use English in Australia”....that you can’t understand what the Aussie guy said to you. So funny as the Aussie probably don’t understand the yank either. Love your blog ....you have made me want to retire in Thailand. Great job....thanks.
Lots of great info Chuck!!!! Appreciate the banking info especially!!!!!!
I have BOA in the U.S and BKK bank account here in Thailand. Just go into your BKK bank and use ATM card if you need to transfer 65,000 THB for retirement. Then, BKK will put in your BKK account and you can easily use your BKK Bank Book to show 65,000 transferred from your account in the U.S monthly.
Always a nice video!
Hi Chuck love your videos very informative have just subscribed.Greetings from Australia.
Thank you. Mate
They do the tunnels here in Banff, Canada. They work very well!!! Saves lot of the animals lives.
Chuck...great video sir!!
In Thailand we have a passive seniority class system. If you are older or have a higher social status than other person, you don't vide(ไหว้) them first.
Yes correct, i have more info on the video to that I shared the link too
Another informative vlog. Thanks.
Hi Chuck. I used to say Vietnamese the same way you do. I think it is a Texas thing. After working with a Vietnamese lady for 15 years, I finally got it right!! Ha Ha Ha. I understand learning thai/lao/Issan because I am going through the same thing. Take care, enjoy your next trip, and say Hello to Paige for me.
Thanks for sharing
We in the Netherlands have those kind of animal tunnels, they work !
Eva Airlines requires that the bicycle is boxed, (US bicycle shops will box for you) and the charge $140 per bicycle.
Very well said, good info, thanks.
Highly recommend the SJCam.
Better quality, better sensor, 1/4th the price.
Hi Chuck. Love your videos. My question is: Is there a way I can find specific videos that you've done? You often say things like: "I talked about Visas in a previous video....." or I've talked about taking a Thai partner to your country. It would be great if you had some sort of catalogue that we could look through and then a way of finding that video.
Any help here would be great.
Hope you and Paige enjoy your Japan trip.
Yes. On my UA-cam channel there is a playlist 1 is info called bla bla bla, I have travel, QnA, and everyday life in Thailand. Or on my Page you can click on the small magnifi glass search and type in your topic. Or just look through the playlist
Were you thinking of your wife when you typed this (ie Paige)? Not sure she'd like people checking her out with magnifying glass lol!
Thanks. Habbit for my comp
HEY CHUCK AND PAIGE, FIRST OF ALL THE ANSWERS IS "NO." THE QUESTION IS "DO AUSTRALIANS SPEAK ENGLISH?" MY LAST TRIP TO AUSTRALIA A GUY HANDED ME A 3 OR 4 PAGE PAMPHLET WITH ENGLISH WORDS IN ONE COLUMN AND THE AUSTRALIAN EQUIVALENT IN THE NEXT. SO I ASKED HIM "IF YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD WAS WHY DON'T YOU GUST USE IT?" HE PUT HIS HANDS ON HIS HIPS AND LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND SAID " BECAUSE WE'RE AUSTRALIAN ". I HAD TO AGREE WITH THAT.
THINK ABOUT IT. WE IN AMERICA DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH, WE SPEAK AMERICAN. PEOPLE IN MEXICO DON'T SPEAK SPANISH, THEY SPEAK MEXICAN. BRAZILIANS SPEAK BRAZILIAN AND SO ON. EVEN IN AMERICA WE HAVE 4 OR 5 DIALECTS, LIKE THAT ONE DOWN IN TEXAS AND THE ONE IN NEW YORK, AND LETS NOT FORGET ABOUT CALIFORNIA.
I DON'T HAVE A BIG PROBLEM THE WAY PEOPLE SAY THINGS, MAINLY BECAUSE I TEND TO BUTCHER MOST OF MY THAI. I DON'T EVEN MIND IT WHEN YOU SAY " KOROT " INSTEAD OF "KORAT". LOL
555 Thank you for sharing.......
Chuck thanks for the info on BKK Bank I am about 18 mo away from actual retirement so I need to get that in order....I was reading online where I can get my Visa Affairs handled via the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles as well (the one in Portland OR doesn't have authority to do long term ones) i do have one question do you use a mail forwarder for important things?
Thanks for speedy reply. Q-how do people send stuff to you/others from states? Does one need export papers for TShirts, Candy, etc? Limit on value? Also, on cars/motorcycles/bikes-You and others claim Thailand imposes very high import duties and fees. When you buy the same transportation locally, are these import fees built into the price or do authorized dealers pay less to the government?
Anything of great value, large quantity, and electronics, could be subjected to tax. They want people to buy in Thailand, and not import to sell. That is the reasoning anyway. People send stuff to us by mail at our address I share in the about section of the home screen. I have never been taxed yet.
The Bangkok Bank in America is in New York. It;s a clearing house only. You can;t just walk in and make a deposit or take money out.
Thanks for sharing Jimmy. I wouldn't have know that, never been there and have no interest, as long I can still use there routing number I will, or do another method that is easy for us. How Are You??
Doing good, thanks!
I have to say Chuck I absolutely love your videos I'm a new subscriber I'm from Canada been to Thailand at least 18 times over the last 24 years this November we're going to spend a month in Phuket in a rented apartment far from the sleazy tourist area I hope do you guys ever get to Phuket area
No American bank branches in Thailand? In Saigon VN. there is a Citibank, Chase and HSBC. I have a Chase account here in the States just for using when in VN. Plus also there are many online banks that colaberate with local brick & mortar banks to where you will have account access through an ATM fee free shared network. I say "fee free" but there is always a small cost to cover the conversion rate. No fee for using the ATM. I can use VietComBank (VCB) ATM's anywhere in Vietnam to deposit and withdraw money to my Chase account.
like it one day I mite make it there Your Videos help a lot maybe I will make it
You may not be aware, Bangkok Bank recently announced they are doing away with the ACH transfer facility that has been so convenient for US expats to use for money transfers, effective April 2019. That fact combined with no longer issuing Visa debt cards (only Union Pay now) is why i will be closing my acct with them. If you plan on staying long term in Thailand, i would choose another Bank.
I don't have an account with them anyway........ The Bangkok bank here is no effected by any changes to the US branch. As long as the bank has a routing number I am not sure how this will affect my scenario. You should not bank with them in US anyway, fees too high.
You couldn’t open a personal banking account at the BKK Bank NY even if you wanted too, and the new rules will affect anyone that was using the ACH transfer through BKK Bank NY.
BKK Bank will still allow direct deposit of Social Security, and private company pensions.
DON'T GO THROUGH BANGKOK BANK NY!
Chuck, your not understanding, i dont have a US bangkok bank account! Im trying to help your viewers. Im trying to tell you that the provision for using bangkok banks ACH number for making transfers into bangkok bank accounts IN THAILAND is going away except for SS and pension accts.
Sorry for the confusion Chuck. When you do a domestic ACH transfer using the routing number (026008691) BKK Bank NY and the account number of your BKK Bank account in Thailand, your money is routed through BKK Bank NY to your account in Thailand. That’s one of the reasons BKK Bank NY exists. To facilitate transfers of funds to Thailand.
Very good and nice to see Page.
Check out the SJCam SJ8 Pro (~$250) or the Sony FDR-X3000 (~$500) cameras - both have amazing image stabilization.
Got to get my monies worth out of this GoPro first...
Chuck...
I was a little taken a back when you mentioned parking your vehicle. Have I been under the mistaken impression that Thailand is safe? Why do your neighbors need a vehicle parked out front to make them feel safe?... especially right there in town. If your vehicle was not there is there a legitimate fear of being attacked in the night by home invaders?
lucky man, one day i will live in thailand too..
1968... it’s a good year👍great info Chuck.
Born in 1968 (age 51) and he's, as far as I understand, already retired!
Hey Chuck very informative as always. Are you still able to transfer money from the USA (Bank of
America) to Thailand using Bangkok Bank in NYC? I too am from the US and up until the beginning of the year I was doing that process without any problems as well. Now however Bangkok Bank refuses the transfers because my bank (TD Bank) in the USA does not use an IAT format in its ACH transfers. Sooo Im guessing if you are still able to transfer through Bank of America they must use this international transfer format and next time I am back in the US I will open an account there. Any information you could share would be appreciated......Keep those informative videos coming and best to Page........Barry.......
Using Western Union from my UK account, I send like you to my Bangkok Bank. They do not charge anything as there obviously still making from exchange rate, however you still get a good rate so still cheaper than the bank charges. Also the Visa retirement 800.000baht money can be split into 2, money in bank, plus monthly pension x 12 to equal the 800.000.
Monthly pension of 45,000 I think if married instead of 65,000 if single. You would think it would be the opposite way round but hay, its Thailand logic. Lol
Less if your married
I hear they have power outages in Thailand (Phuket). How long do they last. And do hotels have power generators?! Thank you. Love your Videos!!
I was told by my late wife doing why is the same as shaking hands and not to worry about it being a religious act.
Hi Chuck, Great info. I subscribed to your channel a year or so ago. Question, If the current exchange rate is 33 baht for a dollar in Thailand, what is the rate you receive on the money you transfer, using the BK bank routing number to your Thai bank account?
The rate always changes determined by the market , but the receiving bank exchanges it at the buying rate. There are many ways to send money. I could send it already converted to Baht also. I am not an expert on the many ways to get good rates. But having a domestic transfer fee helps.

Hi. Very good QnA.
Hi Chuck and page. I will retire in a year or so. Moving to thialand after. Question is buying bike , and other thing worth bring their or buy it their. Option?
The really have many bike shops here with very nice inexpensive bikes here. In Thailand when things are popular there are less expensive.
You're good brother 👍🏽
I use corn starch. About $2.00 for 16 oz.
love it.
Heard/saw on some vblog-blog Thailand only has 220V electricity. True? Can 220V be converted to 110V using in-home converter so western/USA appliances work, say in the kitchen??
You can But I recommend buying your appliances here.
When you do the money transfer from BAC to Bangkok Bk via your domestic transfer, do the funds sit in your bangkok account in US Dollar or do they automatically exchange to BAht at their designated rate for that day (3 days later)
The automatically changes at the rate at that given moment when transferred. You can set up an account in your currency until it is withdrawn though.
@@notime2bsad that's nice thx
Chuck - I tried the transfer method using Bangkok Bank's office in NYC that you mentioned in your previous video. Could not get it done. I was informed by Bangkok Bank that they had suspended this service because the US Treasury Department or Federal Reserve blocked them from treating deposits to a bank account in Thailand as a domestic US transfer. Essentially forced them into compliance with all the international transfer rules that regular US banks have to follow. As a result, they suspended the service for a couple of months.
It looks like they've reactivated it again, but with the requirement that it be done as an international ACH transaction, not a domestic US ACH transaction. That may mean additional fees by the originating bank sending money to BBL NYC.
Here is the url for the new US to Thailand transfer info on the BBL website: www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Other-Services/Transfers/Transferring-Into-Thailand/Transfer-money-from-US-to-Thailand-via-Bangkok-Bank-NewYork-branch
Hello Chuck! Been watching your videos for awhile now and enjoy very much! House Just went up for sale here in California and after it is sold fiancé(Thai) and I will be heading over there. My question, how do you carry $10,000 safely while travelling? Think I will do that initially but really looking into Schwab for ATM's when needed. Thanks!
I put in my computer bag carry on in a place that is not easily removed.
Thanks!
The BKB bank site is temporary down the routing number is 026008691 You only need an account in Thailand which is not the same as US branch, and any US bank account. On This site scroll down and click the + sign on the NY branch for the number. You only need this number and any US bank account. www.bangkokbank.com/en/International-Banking/Europe-and-North-America/United-States-Business-Banking
Thanks for further explanations on transfer. The Bank in the US is a branch and your account is the same there as it is in Thailand.
The US BKB is a routing number and my account is here.
www.bangkokbank.com/BangkokBank/PersonalBanking/DailyBanking/TransferingFunds/TransferringIntoThailand/ReceivingFundsfromUSA/Pages/ReceivingFundsfromUSA.aspx
BKK Bank updated their website. Here is the correct link: www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Other-Services/Transfers/Transferring-Into-Thailand/Transfer-money-from-US-to-Thailand-via-Bangkok-Bank-NewYork-branch
Chuck, this link gives a 404 page not found error.
site must be down. it had the routing numbers on it. The link James is sharing explains transfers via BKB in NY. Not what you want to do.
i have a problem in thailand getting people to understand me ,i speak english but because i am from scotland they always ask my thai girlfriend if i speak english or not,mind you i have the same problem if i go to england ha ha,the accent seems to confuse them ,the whole thai language confuses me 555
you guys speak different English there! :) I can understand how Thais have a hard time understanding....I'm from the US and have a hard time understanding. But ...it's all good, makes for funny stories later ;)
👍🙏
Was just watching your 5 month old video on $ transfers from BofA to your Bkk Bank accnt in Thailand via Bkk Bank , New York. Do you still use this method? I also have BofA account in US and Bkk Bank accnt. here in Thailand but the least expensive transfer option I could find was $35, even though I used the Bkk Bank domestic routing number. Am I missing something? If you have time to elaborate on this I would appreciate it. Thanks much.
You have to link the accounts together on the BOA website, when adding the account select domestic transfer and answer the questions we use the safe pass card or you can set up the app on your phone. Not sure if this can be done with an overseas phone. We set it up with the safe pass in the US. Add your account number of your Thailand BKK bank and the domestic routing number 026008691. Charges $3.00 and BKK here charges around $10.00
👌🙏
No, don't apologize I understand 'Southernese' just fine! I are one.. lol
Great video Chuck. Really enjoy your Q&A videos (actually, we really enjoy all your videos).
As D RBY mentioned in their post below, BKK Bank is changing this method of transfer.
Due to requirements of the OFAC, U.S. Department of Treasury, as of April 2019 BKK Bank will require transfers through BKK Bank NY be international ACH (IAT) transfers.
None of my banks, or banks I’ve contacted (including BOA), know anything about doing IAT transfers. :(
Also, if you were able to locate a bank that will do the transfers, the same fees that BKK Bank NY and BKK Bank Thailand were charging for the ACH transfers will apply to the ITA transfers.
Here is a link to the info on the new BKK Bank website (click on “Advice to senders using US bank internet banking services”): www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Other-Services/Transfers/Transferring-Into-Thailand/Transfer-money-from-US-to-Thailand-via-Bangkok-Bank-NewYork-branch
I am not sure how else to explain it, this something I have done MANY times. BOA money transfer process. Routing number 026008691 is the # I use and my Acc# here. THAT is IT. MAGIC domestic transfer to my bank in Thailand with 0 interaction with NY branch, only there routing #. PLEASE just do what is easy for you. Oh yes magically the site with the correct info is down. not the one you are sharing that is transfer VIA NY branch. I am just sharing my experiences!
www.bangkokbank.com/en/International-Banking/Europe-and-North-America/United-States-Business-Banking Scroll down click the + on the NY branch
When you do your transfers the way you are doing them, your funds are routed through BKK Bank NY to your bank in Thailand. That’s why you are using the BKK Bank NY routing number.
@@2much2see2 ok fine. If I say to you how It is done through at least 15 times through experience you can have your own opinion. Up to you.
Sorry Chuck. No offense intended. Just trying to help a guy out. :(
I would like to tell you mate C hucky in Australia we speak the queens english yank..
Yank???? What does that refer to?
yank= aussie slang ,a citizen of U.S.A . no disrespect ,Chuck , its not derogatory
I was just curious. I have a lot of Aussi subs and seen it plenty of times, just never asked. Thanks.
Are u speak norwegean with the viking..
nope
Speaking Viking is easy, just point and grunt ;o) (I´m a Dane, so mocking is allowed haha).
How do you get the routing number for Bangkok Bank in the US?
I shared a website with instructions, this where some of the confusion came from people assuming I used an account from the NY branch to send money along with there fees. You don't need an account there to send money from your US bank to your Bangkok bank in Thailand. www.bangkokbank.com/BangkokBank/PersonalBanking/DailyBanking/TransferingFunds/TransferringIntoThailand/ReceivingFundsfromUSA/Pages/ReceivingFundsfromUSA.aspx
routing number is 026008691 All you need from that bank. site is down
Yes, I saw that Q& A. I understood the concept, I just didn't know the routing number in the US. Thank You.
I was hoping for the green screen?
Sorry takes too long to edit...... Maybe next time... Thanks for watching some of it. I just posted it lol
notime2bsad - no problem Chuck, just curious, I did enjoy 😉 though. I enjoyed the Q&A too as always. just finished watching it. Thanks,
HI. You are filming in the house. why it is so noisy
Hmmm Thailand is noisy and the houses are open mostly in the tropics..... It is quite in the small villages, unless chickens are a problem for you.
