Receiving money in Thailand: the local picture
Currency
Transfers into Thailand land in Thai baht (THB), so the exchange rate you lock in and the fees quoted up front are what decide how much actually arrives.
How transfers settle
PromptPay enables instant 24/7 interbank transfers using proxy identifiers; standard interbank transfers settle in batch windows. Provider limits apply, and the BOT caps instant-transfer amounts. That matters for a transfer sent from Bangkok: a provider that delivers onto the local rail typically clears faster than a routed correspondent-bank wire.
Recipient details
Thai transfers use the recipient's bank, 3-digit bank code, and account number; PromptPay payments can use a phone number, national ID, or wallet ID linked to the account instead. Getting these recipient details exactly right is the difference between a same-day delivery and a bounced-back transfer.
Regulation
Payments in Thailand are overseen by the Bank of Thailand (BOT). Payment service providers in Thailand must be licensed by the BOT under the Payment Systems Act. Confirm licensed status before holding funds with a provider.
