TLDR : Answer Summary
Many users shared their experiences with various money transfer services for sending money to Thailand. The predominant recommendation was Wise (formerly TransferWise), noted for its quick transfers and competitive exchange rates, often completing transactions within a few minutes. Several users highlighted their satisfaction with using Wise and mentioned minimal fees. Other alternatives mentioned include XE currency and Remitly, which were also praised, although slightly slower in comparison. There was caution regarding Rewire, as user reviews were mixed, prompting some to prefer more established services like Wise.

My experience with Wise (AKA Transferwise) has been, 95% of the time money is in my local bankaccount in minutes. 5% of the time, 4 or 5 days. Something to think about.

Transferwise or Wise now is safe and low costs. Only 32 bath for send from nl to th. Negative is that they don't work in weekend days.

Every month I send 400 quid to my girl who lives in a small Issan village. She picks it up the same day. Easy as can be really.

Takes 1-2 days from Germany.

Because from EU to their Belgium bank takes 1 working day.

But once they received money , to bangkok take few second.

i use xendpay,have done for years,1st class company,fast and good rates

Never heard of them before your post. The destination/recipient countries seem to be a bit limited and they have mixed reviews on UK trust pilot website (23% recorded them as bad...). Think I'll stick with (Transfer)Wise.

Yes, used Wise ( was Transferwise). Fast, 20 minutes to arrive, cheap and good exchange rate. Better than my bank.
