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

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. |

There are individual sellers in a few areas of Thailand: - https://localbitcoins.com/country/THThere 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. - http://entelnova.com/indexwmz.htmThere might be other approaches that work. The operator of Bahtcoin might know sellers in the country, for instance. |

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