A user recently arrived in Thailand on a NON-O Visa and successfully opened an account with Krungthai Bank. They are seeking advice on transferring 800,000 THB from a UK bank to their Thai account. Responses suggest that direct transfers from UK banks are possible and secure, but using transfer services like Wise may offer lower fees, although the nature of the transaction might differ. Overall, swift transfers are recommended for clarity as international transactions.
