Nominee bank for SCB

Odds are slim I can get an answer but I'll try. I have a checking account at SCB and I have several accounts at banks in the US. Occasionally I need to transfer money from my US bank to SCB. But US banks use routing codes not SWIFT codes. My bank here tells me that SCB should have a nominee bank in the US that I can use to route it through to Thailand

I asked SCB and got blank looks from everyone in the branch.

Anyone here ever tried it and had success?

It's become an issue now because we're building a new house and I need to move about $50k to SCB in order to pay the contractor.
