American bank will charge 35.00 transfer fee to Thai bank and says same day wire with no atm fee. Would using wise be better and if so why. I have looked at the wise site. I appreciate all the help this group has given me so far
How are exchange rates dealt with usually? If I transfer the equivalent of 500k THB in another currency to a bank account and the currency depreciates against the THB over the next 3 months until I will apply for the DTV will they use the exchange rate at the time of application for every historic month or will they use the exchange rate for each month so I have a chance to top up the account to cover for currency fluctuations during these 3 months?
Alternatively do they allow using bank statements from several banks for the application so I can add a statement from another bank as well if needed to get up to 500k THB?
Just a head up for people with a Barclays Premier account in the UK.

Today’s exchange rate is 42.93 GBP to the Baht
I know this doesn’t suit everyone but it’s for information purposes only
Also if you are trying to transfer 800k baht in from wise you can only do this in 50k baht increments so it’s a. Minimum of 16 transactions at approximately £8 for each one.
I've just transferred £1000 from UK to Kasikorn, the UK charged just £5 and i sent in pound sterling, because UK always charge more when they exchange it. However Kasikorn has just creamed 3%, no biggy for £1000, but this was a trial to see speed and charges, it will kill me sending 5 or 10 million baht. So my question is, from experience, do any of you know whether different banks charge different amounts, if so which is best, and finally does the amount % get less the more you send?
If i use an HSBC global money card to transfer money to a Thai bank,will it show as an international transfer?I would like to try this method as there are no charges from HSBC using this card.Thanks in advance for your comments
When pulling trigger on 800,000 tbt equivalent from your US Bank to Thai Bank account — does the US BANK do the conversion to Thai Baht or is that done once it lands in Thai Bank? Or do both banks equally share in the cost of conversion ?
