Ah Thailand - loved the place. To much sun and smoking for me, got well sick whilst there.

Cant think of a solution to your problem - doesnt seem like you have to many options really Sad.

Its not so bad in the UK, usually takes a day or so to get into mtgox account.

Right now, traveling.  Currently in Thailand (nowhere near Bangkok, already looked at that option).

There are individual sellers in a few areas of Thailand:

 - https://localbitcoins.com/country/TH

There might be another combination that works.  BTC-e takes Webmoney Z.  Entelnova sells Webmoney Z by accepting Thai bank transfer or cash deposit at a bank in Thailand.

There might be other approaches that work.  The operator of Bahtcoin might know sellers in the country, for instance.

In Canada its so easy to buy bitcoin its not even funny

I send 100$ and get 100$, in the account, the next day, 0 fees

sending money is as easy as paying a bill online

its weird how the rest of the world can't seem to pull this off

use bahtcoin.com (I've used them before, he's based in Pattaya)

He's asking quite a spread.  It would be cheaper to pay the bankwire fees.


No he's not buying at all his sell rate is pretty much the same as the Gox buy rate it's pretty good value

I just signed up for an account at Mt.Gox.

Turns out the only way to fund it (unless a bunch of hoops are jumped through), is bank wire.

That's going to cost $25 each time.

Not a reasonable option as I plan to do purchases 1-2x per month.

There must be a cheaper way?

Any advise from veterans here?

Thanks

It would help if you said where you lived but probably this man https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/deathandtaxes-41048
