Hi everyone,

A very Happy New Year to you and your Family.

I’ve been on a DTV visa for two months, and I’ve visited almost all the banks in Bangkok, including Kasikorn Bank, Bangkok Bank, and several others. I’ve even tried different branches in less touristy areas, but no one is willing to open a bank account for me.

This makes it very difficult to pay rent and utility bills every month. I would greatly appreciate any advice or leads that could help.

Thank you in advance!

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 ?

Whick bank will give you an account so you can transfer

Money from abroad for O visa? SCB no. Kasakorn. No.

Is anybody having trouble transferring money from the USA using wise. I setup a ACH transfer earlier which it states should take seconds. I get an email saying it may be up to 4 days. Just wondering how I go from just seconds to days.

Thanks all

Best place to exchange money in pukhet I was given a rate of 43.37 baht for £1 does anyone know if this is a good rate

I will be retiring to Thailand next month. How is it best to transfer funds from a UK bank...Barclay..to a Thai bank account whilst in Thailand. My phone app doesn't offer the Thai baht as a currency to transfer..and I am not sure if I would be able to access my bank account online by computer. Is it best to go through an agency to transfer money ? What to do for the best. Any advice appreciated.

PAYPAL has just blocked my account, reason: violation of the use of Paypal. For my part I wonder what I could have done .... is anyone in the same situation as me? I've heard that people living in Thailand are facing same situation as me...

Thx for u r feedback

For the people in the group with access to Promptpay from Singapore. I have recently been enjoying better exchange rate with Promptpay compared to Wise. Only caveat is limit on amount which I think is 1000 SGD per day but it really is instant.

Any other service I missed worth exploring? I will not touch Revolout due to their staff management reviews and customer testimonials. Crypto is not on the table as well. ;)

Hi anyone know the best way to obtain THB when in Thailand? Thanks
