Yes you can do that easily enough, I do it at least once every couple of months from ANZ Aus to Acleda via internet banking.
The exchange rate with ANZ Aus is pretty shit though usually, also the Aus bank will charge an international transfer fee, and Acleda charges a receiving fee. Best to send large sums rather than anything less than $USD1000.
