The main BOC in KM is your best bet. Your subject to the annual limit out and can only wire to a personal account or educational institution, not to business or trading accounts.
If that person is wealthy and spent enough time in China, I would presume he has eaten at enough big table fancy restaurants. In Kunming, Dai food presents an opportunity not found in most other major Chinese cities.
Kunming's top hotels? Before the Wyndham, that was probably the Green Lake Hotel. A TV production crew from Shanghai pretty much said the service was laughable there in comparison to other places in China.
Kunming has nice hotels if you compare them to a local Home Inn. Compared to say the InterContinental in Shenzhen, it's like little league vs the majors.
You should not doubt the power of Kunming's backwardness, corruption, and lazyness to drag down even an international brand.
The InterContinetals in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Nanjing are pretty world class. I somehow imagine the Kunming one will be dragged down in comparison by all the usual Kunming suspects.
The HSBC in Kunming doesn't advertise Retail banking services, but they will provide you with them. They are located on the 11th floor on Beijing road in the really nice looking building nearby the SOHO apartment complexes. The building should have a large ABC branch on the bottom floor next to it. No HSBC ATM is available, but you can get cash from them just like a teller.

Never gotten sick once at Sals. Their food is TexMex, so yeah, not authentic Mexican food, but pretty authentic as TexMex goes. Burrito wrap has improved a lot. Like the draft beer option now.
If you haven't had dairy products in a while, and do eat here, best forgo the sour cream. Nothing wrong with it, in fact it's the best sour cream in Kunming, but if you've eaten Chinese for month or months with no dairy intake, your system will react to sour cream or probably any liquid dairy product not so well. Maybe that's what happened with nailer and tallamerican.
Update:
It's now 5 working days for regular processing. So I submitted my application a bit before 5pm on a Friday and was told to pick it up next week Friday after 5pm.
Cost is now 400rmb for a single 30 day entry. Or that was what I was charged anyways. There are no posted prices and its cash only with no receipt except for your passport pickup. That's like $65 USD.
You can pay another 150rmb for 2 day or 100rmb for 3 day processing. For 400rmb, they should process it in three days like they used to before, but now you'd pay 500rmb. The office is still like deserted most of the time, so why does it take longer now and cost extra. If you opted for 2 day, thats like $90 usd. All other neighboring countries charge like $25usd.
The rest of and cope review is still good for hours and location.
Far out, less people. Big enough to get lost in. Pretty and quiet near dusk. 20yuan entrance fee.
Like everyone else says, best Indian food in Kunming. They have lunch plates and dinner plates. Show up before 1pm for lunch.
They are on the 4th floor of the half empty shopping mall. Best way is too take the elevator past the KFC around the corner from Starbucks.
Most individual dishes can feed only two hungry guys, so order more if you are starving. Naan order can take care of one only.
Five stars for the food. Go with Yereth's recommendations, plus any vegetable the waitress says is fresh.
Beware that Xue Fu lu is one way, so many taxis have to take a roundabout way to get here.

Anning refinery fined for violation of national environmental laws
发布者Sadly, even fining them a token amount is a huge step for Yunnan. Usually takes an explosion like the one in Tianjin.
