Thailand hosts several tens of thousands of Bangladeshi workers, primarily in the fishing and seafood processing industries. THB payments route from Thai banks (Bangkok Bank, SCB Thailand) via BAHTNET and SWIFT, typically through a Singapore or Hong Kong hub bank, to a Bangladeshi bank. THB is converted to BDT via USD. Bangladesh Bank requires NID-based KYC and AML registration. The Bank of Thailand applies AML controls. The corridor has less direct correspondent coverage than Gulf–Bangladesh lanes, adding routing complexity. Both governments have bilateral migrant-worker agreements that support the formal remittance channel. Track your UETR on Ohmyfin.
Settlement path: BAHTNET → Bangladesh Bank RTGS / BEFTN via correspondent. Currency pair: THB → BDT.
The three most common causes of delay on this corridor are: (1) Bangladesh Bank NID verification and FX documentation for inward remittances, (2) THB-to-BDT conversion via USD intermediate step at the correspondent, and (3) Limited direct Thai–Bangladeshi correspondent links requiring a Singapore or Hong Kong hub.
If the payment has not arrived within 4 business days, ask your sending bank to file an MT199 payment enquiry citing the UETR and the holding bank's BIC shown on the Ohmyfin GPI tracker.
