I asked boy for bank routing number and he sends S.W.I.F.T. code SICOTHBK.
I was expecting a long number like an account number.
ANyone have any experience sending money via transfer to a bank account?

You will also need the name on the account and the account number the funds are being transferred to. As I understand it, the SWIFT code will get it to the bank - but the bank needs the additional information to deposit the funds to the correct account.
Personally, I never did obtain or use the SWIFT code for Bangkok Bank - when I transferred funds to my bf (before I retired and moved here), my USA bank accepted his bank name, bank address (I used main Office in Bangkok), name on the account, and the account number - I did include the Chaiyaphum Branch after the bank's name on the wire transfer form. After I opened my account with Bangkok Bank here in Pattaya, I used the same informatin for wire transfers except I noted it was the Pattaya Branch -- not sure that really is needed so long as you have the name and account number. However, I understand that some banks will not wire without the SWIFT code (I think my bank's International Dept had the information and didn't really need for me to profide it) -- I have never had a problem with my wire transfers -- currently, my wires from USA are deposited the next day in my Pattaya account.
Thai banks don't have routing codes, as far as I know. I make transfers all the time, and all you should need are the SWIFT code and the account number.
thanks lots. wish niddy's delivery service was still available
hi
the swiftcode you wrote was wrong
right is SICOTHBK = siam commercial bank headquarter bangkok thailand
the money will be in 2 or max. 3 days at this account
i have at this bank also my account and it works perfect
no problems anyway
good luck

In Thailand there isn't any routing number. You need either IBAN or SWIFT codes.Originally Posted by dab69
The banking code for routing is already included witn account number.
Make sure all your writing (name, address etc.) is in CAPITAL letters and is exactly inline with ID or bank ATM card.
at least we have some sense of humor over here. :clown: it can be lame and I'm sure it is , but where u come from humor is a swearword according to your post.Originally Posted by Kekock

online E Trade (thanks to this board- I opened an account) won't accept
anything but a numerical routing number. hope their phone representative
is knowledgable tomorrow...
paypal would be great, but same problem I bet. his bank needs a routing number and account number for him to sugn up to recieve funds.
even looked up western union, but no places in pattaya, according to their website search.
tons of places in bangkok to wire money to, but such a fee I am imagining.
the saga continues...
