ORIGINAL POSTER
In case anybody was curious.

I made two bank transfers from my US bank account to my local Bangkok Bank account, both using wise.

Transfer 1

$100, indicated purpose for 'travel expenses'. arrived seconds later, 3,369.69, shows as "Transfer from other bank"

Transfer 2

$100, indicated purpose for 'Long Stay in Thailand'. arrived 1 day later, 3,371.16, shows as "International transfer"

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user shared their experience of making two bank transfers from a US bank account to a Bangkok Bank account using Wise. The first transfer for 'travel expenses' arrived almost immediately, while the second transfer for 'Long Stay in Thailand' took one day, showcasing different labeling ('Transfer from other bank' and 'International transfer'). Other comments highlight satisfaction with Wise's service compared to traditional banks.

That’s how Wise should code it with Bangkok Bank. Other banks probably won’t show as international transfer.
