TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among commenters is that Wise may not be the most effective option for sending money from Thailand to the UK, with several recommending alternatives like Dee Money or Revolut. While some users mention the possibility of using Wise with a Thai bank card, others point out difficulties in loading funds onto Revolut using Thai banks. It's advised to consider these alternatives due to potential fees and exchange rates when sending money internationally.

You can use Wise to transfer from your Thai bank using the card option to transfer to the UK.

Only with THAI Creditcard. Sometimes a Thai debitcard which is activated for online shopping I sometimes read. I did not get my debitcard to work.

Revolut won’t be getting a UK banking licence anytime soon , it failed due diligence

Also an option. Just make sure you are aware of the mandatory reporting thresholds in the event you need to report the amount you are carrying to customs at either your departure point or arrival point.

@Adam *****

@John ***************
yes, asked the Kasikorn bank already

@Adam *****
transfer from Revolut to Thai Bank costs transfer fees as I used to do as well. I meant putting money onto Revolut using Thai debit card not bank transfer which again will cost money and take 2-3 days
Adam ******
@Myles ******
yes cost are 200 baht as I remember, transfer from revolut to thai bank no more than 5 min as I remember as well. Please be specific "no way loading revolut from thai bank" isn't true, using card is but if you have card from thai bank you have account too so basicaly from app you can send
