    There are no US tax consequences on transferring money into the US. Whether you have any income tax issues is impossible to say without knowing what your US residency status is and the source of the funds. You mention capital gains - if the money comes from sale of property you owned in Thailand and you are a US citizen or resident then you will have to report the sale and calculate capital gains tax owed, but take a credit for foreign taxes paid.
