BoT targets cash property buyers with new rules
The Bank of Thailand is proposing rules requiring banks to scrutinize cash transactions of 5 million baht or more, including for property purchases, to prevent money laundering. A public hearing on the draft rules runs until September 3, 2026. Separately, daily digital transfer limits for youth accounts (ages 10-18) will be tightened by September and October 2026.
