Sending money to Thailand is straightforward with the right provider. Here's how it works in 3 simple steps.
Choose how much AUD you want to send, compare providers above, and pick the one offering the best THB amount for your transfer to Thailand.
Enter your recipient's details in Thailand — you'll need their bank account number. Most providers verify details instantly.
Pay using bank transfer, debit card, or credit card. Track your money in real-time until it arrives — bank deposit typically takes 1–2 business days.
Make sure you have these details from your recipient before starting your transfer.
Full name
Recipient's full name as registered with their Thai bank account
Bank account number
10-digit Thai bank account number
Example: 1234567890
Bank name
Name of the recipient's bank (e.g. Bangkok Bank, Kasikornbank)
PromptPay ID
OptionalThai national ID number or mobile number registered with PromptPay for instant transfers
Example: 0812345678
Note: Thailand does not use the IBAN system. Bank transfers require a 10-digit account number and the bank name. PromptPay, Thailand's national real-time payment system, allows transfers using just a mobile number or national ID — most Thai banks support it.

Transfer fees from Australia to Thailand vary by provider. Specialist services charge A$0–10 per transfer, while banks charge A$25–50 plus a 2–5% exchange rate markup.
