Home » Reader question » Way to transfer Thai bills from the Netherlands from a Thai bank account?
Dear readers,
In the past I worked with Kasikorn internet banking, but at a certain point the OTP messages were no longer coming through. What is the easiest and most reliable way from the Netherlands? For example, to transfer Thai electricity bills from a Thai bank account. Preferably without being dependent on a Thai telephone number with roaming?
Regards,
Hans
Editors: Do you have a question for the readers of Thailandblog? Use it contact form..
Hello Hans. From what I read, it seems best to install the Kasikorn app. Since you have a smartphone of course. I also have 'cyber banking' via an internet web browser, but I rarely use it anymore. I do all my banking with the Kasikorn app. Also works in the Netherlands. Never need an OTP code, only for serious changes to your settings.
I assume that you need a good VPN for this or does this also work via your Dutch internet provider?
No, no VPN needed Ari. WiFi/SIM just works. In summary, what Ronny already indicates; only internet connection required.
Very personal of course, but I'm not a fan of automatic payment. 1 day after I find the paper water/electricity bill in the mailbox, the correct amounts are already under the 'pay bills' button. So I have created 'favorites' on the screen with (so only once) 'my' 1 'reference' numbers. But as already said, very personal. I really like those apps.
Kasikorn app cannot be installed if you are in the Netherlands; only in TH
I had that too years ago. This is because during installation, the app notices that your Google account has a Dutch residential address. For some reason, the app itself has a region restriction built into it.
Create a second Google account on your smartphone with a home address in Thailand. From that account you can install the Kasikorn app without any problems.
Indeed and also an ATM from that bank if I remember correctly to be able to register on that app.
But if he has utilities to pay, I think he will stay there regularly.
The app can only be activated in Thailand.
Kasikorn App indeed works fine from abroad. WIFI is sufficient to use that app.
As for your electricity bill.
If that is your permanent address, you may also consider making a permanent order with your bank.
I have been doing this for years and the electricity bill is deducted from my account every month by the PEA.
Works great and you don't have to worry about it. Always correct and for checking purposes, you will still receive the printout in your mailbox upon admission.
Why not do it automatically?
If you are in Thailand, go to the bank, they know exactly what needs to be done so that it happens automatically.
I've been doing it this way for electricity and water for years.
All without any problems.
Ben
Beats. We have been paying three monthly bills automatically for years: water, electricity and telephone. Goes perfectly.
With the new credit/deb card from BangkokBank, payment via the app is possible in the Netherlands.
A fee of 300 Bth will be deducted from your account annually.
I also use the K-bank app and that works everywhere. I do remember that a Thai telephone number was required during installation and that the first time it was necessary to log in via that SIM card before connecting via WiFi was possible. I don't know whether that first step is also possible with a Thai telephone number from abroad.
I use wise as a way station. Open a Euro and Thai jar and transfer the euro to THAI JAR and pay all bills in Thailand via that account.
I use the banking apps from Krungsri and Bangkok Bank worldwide, the Bangkok Bank one has slightly more options when it comes to paying bills, but I am very satisfied with both. Only WiFi or SIM is sufficient, I also have VPN but it is not necessary. Worldwide as well as seafarers all over the world, including the Netherlands.
Bangkok bank app super easy
Buy a phone with a subscription in Thailand and install the Kasikorn app.
