Just get a Charles Schwab account. All ATM fees from any bank, anywhere in the world are refunded at end of month. No monthly fees. Free checking. No international transaction fees. Great exchange rate when u take money out of a ATM (similar to a good exchange booth like SuperRich exchanges).

Use International bank transfer, costs you but your money is tracked and safe

Wise or revolut

ATM ‘s work fine
Choose the one with the lowest transaction fee ( the yellow ones, if I remember correctly, do not let the ATM convert , rather choose allowing your credit card provider convert and since there is a fixed fee, take the maximum withdrawl allowed?
P..S all ATM have an English option , sometimes the button is hard to find

If you look at Wise there is a comparison tool that is really useful. Wise is not always the cheapest on their comparison tool.

Remitly has been great for me. Faster than Wise in my experience.

I have WISE, XE, OFX and REMITLY. I find in all respects REMITLY to be better including rates

@Gerg *********

@Gerg *********
The exchange rate is more important than speed and Remitly can't match Wise.Gerg **********

If under 30k use atm select "Continue with out conversion" Western Union charges too much for cash pick up and takes off average of 1.50$ from exchange. ( with out thai bank )
If you have someone you trust with thai bank or yourself wise is the next option

Wise wins hands down.

Wise. Some prefer XE, try the numbers for the amount you’re trying to do. Charges change but so will offered exchange rates.
One may be better than the other depending on the amount and currency you’re wanting to transfer.
