What is the cheapest way to transfer money from Thailand to the UK?
Apologies if this money transfer question is a bit off topic.
I need to send some money back to the UK and I have not done this before, so I am looking for your help please.
I am aware that Revolut and Dee money are the popular choices for this purpose.
I can use Bangkok Bank or Kasikorn to transfer the money to Revolut or Dee if either of these options are cheaper. Which option is the cheapest/recommended to use please?

Last time I tried, Bangkok Bankwould only allow if you had a work permit... They would allow via Western Union, but that transfer got cancelled because of a new rule that said the name on the senders accounr, must be different to the name on the receving account..

If its a one off i use my k bank app for the few bht diffrence its so much easier and instant

WesternUnion would be my choice

People use DeeMoney but no experience of it. SWIFT out of your Thai bank will be the most reliable

Try using the BBL app.
International transfers = > SWIFT.

If you know someone that can send crypto stablecoin usdt and they accept usdt. That would be the easiest and cheapest method.

김총우 cheaper to send but then you have the fees for exchange so in the end not much in it

OPThank you for your advice, but I am old and pathetically a bit scared of using crypto.

I know it may sound scammy but really.
You can download a crypto wallet app such as moonpay. Or Coinbase or binance. It’s very easy.

Stuart Chiverton you can transfer to the UK from wise. But it seems you can't add money to a wise account from a Thai bank account.
