Find this interesting as in all the years I’ve never experienced this, I think it would be safe to say you are a︀ marked person.
Let me sent the reason of the payment in private. Don’t like to make it public but it think it explains a lot.
Edit: “Any person in Thailand who wishes to transfer money into a non-resident account has to provide the necessary documents (relevant contracts or invoices) and prove the legitimate obligation and source of funds; however, there are fewer restrictions and reporting requirements in remittance of funds from a non-resident account abroad”
Source: Banking in Thailand: Resident or Non-resident Account? - Tilleke & Gibbins
This is what SCB says︀ about remittances
“
Anybody else had to submit supporting docs for︆ outgoing payment above 50k? I really thought this was a complete normal procedure

So you mean the difficulty is to transfer money OUT of thailand from your thai︀ bank account, but no problem to get the money IN, correct ?
What about if︁ it's IN/OUT from bank accounts under your name (oversea->thai-oversea) over 50K ? Many papers to︂ justify?
PS : are you under Elite visa?

What I can say is︄ the following
- friend sold his business to Russians 10mTHB Swiss national - funds left︅ via daily allowance 2m THB a day no issues.
- friend returned to Europe (briefly)︆ transferred is savings out from working in Thailand without issue
- Wife can send out︇ 2m a day per account without issues
- I can send send out 2m a︈ day per account without issue.
Funds coming in no issues either

Non-Immigrant B Visa for long time. Now elite but I regret because the new tax laws. I don't have a problem with paying some tax for daily expenses but it shouldn't get too crazy either. I'm fine with contributing something here. I have also informed if I could work as volunteer for the soi dogs but but from what I understood, this︀ is not practical if you are here with elite.
Outgoing gives the problems. Money in,︁ they just call you if it is for real estate or not (because then they︂ make TT3) . And only if you do larger transactions (I throught also 50k). If︃ you dont answer the phone the money is 2 days later still in your account.︄ I receive so much callcenter spam that I never answer my phone here. I dont︅ want to do the investor visa thailand. Get 10m to thailand and then hope the︆ rules don't change again? No thanks. But I still like Thailand really much. I need︇ more time to think about what to do.
In the the past, you could only︈ transfer whatever you had received from abroad. But since maybe 5-6 years people using crypto︉ and services like DeeMoney to book the money out. Its not an advice.
@wellington missed your comment. This suprise me.
I have only 1 experience here with a transaction above︊ 50k usd from thai bank > oversea.
Perhaps if it is an account under your︋ own name it will cause maybe less problems but scb is clear on its website.︌ Here you can check SWIFT Outward Remittance | SCB 50k usd above is docs. And︍ to be honest, I would have been more worried if I didn't get questions. Everything︎ was neatly arranged but understand that explanation was required if you book money right away️ overseas.
Edit: one other thing came to my mind. This office was in a small town near Cambodia. Never visited before. My English is not perfect and their English either. The day after when they call me for source of funds documents I had to drive to the same branche. Maybe it was just the branche manager. He told me only that he was from the bank. And if they write on their own site that this is the procedure….
Maybe they see less foreigners and Phuket is more easy.

I've been watching the whole vid and got the impression that both the reform and joining AEOI are because of regulatory pressure and not their free will.
My guess is that OECD did not want them to be tax-free-non-AEOI country and threatened in sanctions similar to Dubai if it won't change.
Countries that joined AEOI from their free will, did so in 2016,︀ not 2024.
But that's just my opinion.

Over 2m have to do through the bank not the app - that’s all I know.
They open or opened Kasikorn accounts

yes opening a bank account is very easy with elite card.
【Thailand ELITE VISA】Opening A New Bank Account In Thailand 2022(NEW) this guy opened 5.
I can confirm that it still works this way. The hussle is more the queu in the bank here in Pattaya as the opening process. The only thing what I didn’t know before is that they write on your residence certificate for which bank you can use it. You need for each bank a different residence certificate. It’s just 300 baht for one or something . Do at all at once . Ask for 5/6 of that residence certificates with︀ the banks that you want by immigration office or pay a Thai office there to︁ fill out the forms for you. You really don’t need elite assistent for this. Same︂ driver license . Deposit everywhere some money to keep it active . A few k︃ baht is enough already.

Was talking with a friend reference this chick and her fella (based in Phuket) outrageous self publicizing.
What I will say is these are the juicy idiots that the Thai Gov will go after - not the guy just living a normal life or raising a family. The idiots publicizing the purchase of 100,000$ diamond necklaces, 400,000$ Mercedes, 100,000$ shopping at loui/gucci for lunch etc
As they create an exciting opportunity to generate a lot of free publicity.
I opened HKD, Euro, SGD and THB
But note I already had Euro, THB with various︉ other banks - just never bothered with Kasikorn before.
Problem though with the non-THb accounts︊ you had to visit the branch (50klm round trip) to do anything
