yes. But know that the Burmese web site is no always correct. However this time it is. But again what is posted on the web is not what is the truth on reality at the border. But I fear that this time around it is a crap shoot.

wow! That is very strange. Must be due to something happening across there. Most on bridge number 1 is incoming from Burma in mini vans.. Bridge number 2 is just trucks and cars. Fear the border authorities know more than they are reporting? I am checking with contacts in immigration and army.

have not hear that. But from one day to the next I wouldn't doubt it. Also depends upon the time and the moment.

Considering the fighting across the border here in Mae Sot... I wouldn't advise doing a 'bounce'. However... as a resident here I have not heard you can't do it.

okay... I get it 800K is the figure posted. So I missed the extra zero. May I be drawn and quartered. But why he isn't just talking to his bank here or BKK Bank in NY or an agent ... well there is an idea

@Kris *******

the admin of this page are visa agents with a high recommendations from many here and on their FB page ( ligit reviews by the way as I know a few of them) It is just a suggestion. They are professional and reliable with quick services and depending on request certainly affordable.

through the ATM... 220bht service fee + depending upon amount receiving... $16 aprox for transaction. All depends on requested amount. Very large amounts you are better going through an ACH transfer or through BKK bank in NY. Wise is good... but I have had issues of having to wait for funds to post
