After years of going to a cash window to get my monthly pension dollars from the US with a cash advance [Passport required] I can now finally just click online to get the money.
I had to pay a whopping 3% each month to get MY MONEY which burned me up. So I saved about half of this fee by doing many ATM cash withdrawals. The ATM fees added up to lower total fees. But the inconvenience of having to go to the ATM 3-6 times a month was annoying.
Now Bangkok Bank allows transfers to their branch in NY and it gets to the Thailand branch in about a week. They say its 3 business days but my experience so far is it takes longer.

In the past (4-5 years ago), I would receive the telegraphic transfers from the US to my Bangkok Bank account in less than 24 hours. I would get an email stating that the funds had been transferred early in the morning and when I check the account in the day, the funds are already there.

I have had a Bangkok Bank retirement account for my social security deposits for several years. The money is nearly always available on the 3rd of each month but might slip if the Thai banks are on a long weekend.
I receive an SMS telling me the money has arrived and I go to Loei to get the funds. The bank charges 200 baht for the transfer and the bank in Loei charges me 60 baht for the withdrawal, since my account is in the Pattaya branch.
I am required to present my passport and bank book to close the loop.

Sure sounds like someone's benefitting from socialism, to me.
I usually just wire-transfer to my SCB account - flat fee, regardless of the amount. Anything over 10,000 takes a delay, simply for regulatory notification and approval. Anything under 10,000 is in less than 24 hours (usually, in less than 8 hours, if you time it right).

You can do that with either SCB or BBL for some time now, I used it as far back as 1997.

That was my experience in the past, with the BBL account.

From Australia funds would take 24 or less.
However,
In an emergency I would tell my daughter to place $2000 in an ATM linked account in Australia and I could access. It immediately and the cost was $5 at my end with only 20,000 baht. Allowed per day.
