Anyone here with a Schwab One account using Swift to wire money to their Bangkok Bank account via NY branch??? I get 3 free wires per quarter and I’ve been told it’s converted into the Bangkok Bank account as “Buying TT rate” which is usually excellent conversion rates. I’m also considering doing direct deposit into Bangkok Bank NY branch of my Social Security checks.

Anyone done this w their Schwab One account and can attest to this??? Thanks

Hi all, we plan to retire in Phuket, Thailand and would like to find out about what is the best option to :

1) How to transfer money out of my home country bank on a monthly bases to pay bills in Thailand?

2) Can my social security check directly deposit into my new Thai bank account?

3 Can I open a Thai bank account in Phuket while still living in my home country?

4) When living in Thailand and want to buy a car how do I go about transferring money out of my home country bank into my foreign/Phuket bank count?
