Interesting, Sean. Never heard of this. Nor did I have a problem the two times I transferred funds for truck purchases (my first one was stolen after roughly five months). The money appeared in my account pretty much instantaneously; and it was well over the limit you have identified (regardless of whether you're talking 20K dollars or 20K baht).
