How can I successfully transfer money to a Thai bank account using Santander?

I used Wise. Can be transferred very quickly.

I call Santander and make a international cash transfer,

Set up telephone banking with the bank, costs but simple

You can only send money like that using online banking with Santander and not the app, their app is rubbish and can’t make international payments

Wise.. I have used them 3+ years, never a problem.

The Santander app only supports EU payments. Contact their customer service but keep in mind that they maintain high exchange and transfer fees. I also suggest using Revolut or Wise to transfer. My recent revolut international transfer to Thailand arrived in minutes.

Lloyd's to Bangkok Bank uses a 'swift code' not sure about Santander. Maybe try again.

Every bank has a “transfer department”. Normally you have to ask a human to transfer you. That department may jn fact just do it for you and send you a link to authorize prior to execution.

Wise

Wise easy takes 5 seconds sometimes

If you transfer money abroad direct from your bank you will get hammered with charges. I use Western Union app it's easy quick and cheap. To transfer £500 for example costs just £1.90.

Use wise super easy and practically instant transfer as well

Can you withdraw cash ??

If so take the cash to the bank and deposit it, this is if the owner doesn’t take cash, as some places require bank deposit or QR payment

Wise to use Wise, and so easy.

Money exchange app is great too

It's very easy to transfer money between international banks.. all you need is the recipients name (as it appears on their bank account) and account number.. and the country/bank/branch they hold the account with.. you can look up the SWIFT code yourself.. every bank in the world has a unique SWIFT identifier.. though some have only an IBAN number you can use.. your banking app will call for the information it needs.. eg. Bangkok bank is BKKBTHBK.. and you will decide whether to pay all fees or just your own banks remitting fees.. meaning the recipient will pay for receiving the money their end.. I recently transferred money from UK to Thailand myself.. my bank charge was zero but recipient incurred charge of 200bht.. though Bangkok bank cap this at 500 bht per transaction.. the alternative is to simply withdraw the cash at a local atm and hand your landlord the cash.. unless you are already out of country of course. PS. You may not be on the correct feature in your app.. my Uk bank app asks me to choose between a 'transfer' which is to another Uk bank.. or an 'International transfer' for overseas banks.. if you are on the right one it wouldn't ask you for a sort code my friend!

Santander app is expecting to send to a European bank which is why it’s asking for sort codes. Thai banks don’t use them. You may have to go into a branch to bypass the app, or see if their website allows for international transfers using swift codes.

Wise or ask if he's got PayPal

western union direct to his bank..
