Regarding DTV Pricing: Official visa fee is 10k THB. However, since the DTV is only available outside of Thailand, prices set by the Thai consulates in local currency apply - at quite a premium.

Example:

Actual current exchange rate:

10,000 THB = 254 EUR

Price asked by the eVisa system in Germany / Berlin:

350 EUR = 13,768 THB

~38% more expensive.

Even higher premiums in other currency regions!

Still a great deal visa. Just letting y'all know.

My flight arrives at BKK and by the time I get through customs, it'll be about 11pm. Are there likely to be anywhere open to change money into Baht at the airport to pay for a taxi? Cheers.

Hi All, I'm prepping for my retirement to Thailand, I will be transferring £20k to my Bangkok Bank a/c but have NEVER transferred such a large sum internationally before, is SWIFT the best option?

My smart friends, question:

US bank account, Does it make better financial sense to withdraw 30,000 baht from local ATM and then deposit it into Bangkok Bank with out of province fees and local bank exchange rates...

OR use Wise and transfer?

I’m coming to Thailand in a few weeks and not sure what is a decent exchange rate at the moment. I’m in the UK and the best rate I can find is 41.740

Does anyone know of this is good?

Thank you
