Has anyone created a USD account (with Bangkok bank or any Thai bank) in addition to your main baht account so that you can receive and withdeaw USD without having to exchange to baht? Would you recommend doing that and any caveat?

Hi does anyone have any experience of contacting WISE regarding sending of funds to Thailand for visa purposes? I've read of people having problems when applying for non O & OA extensions based on the monthly income route because the Thai bank account statements didn't stipulate correctly where the funds had come from every month. Any advice appreciated. I'm not due to start sending monthly funds until next year but want to get it all sorted in advance. Thanks

I have Cash App for early direct deposit in the USA, and I have Regions Bank. Wise has not sent my card, and I leave the 31 for Thailand. I will carry cash under 10k and will have money left in Regions. Will there be any issue to get bank wires to Thailand or to Thai Bank? Thanks

Has anyone made ABA Bank (Cambodia) retail payments using QR codes in shops in Thailand?

Update: it took me less than 60 seconds to open an account, set up a transaction between US and Thai accounts, and receive the funds using remitly. The first time used, the transaction fee of $1.99 was waived with an exchange rate that was 0.12 baht per dollar less than what wise showed at the exact same time, which means 120 baht less per $1,000 usd sent. Comes out to be a bit cheaper than wise in fees/conversion, even if you calculated in the 1.99. Thank you everyone who suggested Remitly.

Anyone have a good alternative to Wise for transferring funds between personal accounts in America and Thailand? I used wise for 6 years for the same thing and all of a sudden they are asking for crazy amounts of information, cancelling transactions because after I provide what they ask, they say they need additional information, it’s kinda gotten ridiculous. I’m open to starting a new bank account with a U.S. bank if that can make things more easy. Thanks
