I did a Bank Wire Transfer from the USA (Wells Fargo) to my friends Thailand bank account on November 8. It says arrival by November 20, & still has not arrived. I can’t understand why this transaction doesn’t take seconds, or even 1-2 days. Any ideas?

Why is western Union cheaper than wise all of a sudden ? Transfer 20000. Bht wise £472 and western Union £457 (no transfer fee) I’m guessing it’s a one off no transfer fee ?

After the problem with using Wise to fund your Thai visa properly, I would like to ask about the other services available.

I have, and have used in the past to fund our breaks Wise, Western Union, XE, and Revolut dependant on the exchange rate offered on the day.

We will be moving full time in January to our house in Chiang Mai, and I will be needing to open a bank account for myself, and transfer the funds required to satisfy my visa requirements, and to purchase a car.

Do the other services mentioned show monies transferred as international transfer, as using Wise on some days could cost a substantial amount in comparison to other providers on large sums ?

This is regarding what is the way to get the lowest cost of transferring from an non-Thai to Thai bank account:

Last night I paid Western Union INR 840,000 which gave me TBH 312,153 (INR 785,101) — that is a difference of INR 54,899 which is a cost of 6.54%.

My question is what method of transferring money into a Thai bank account costs equal to or less than 3%? 6.54% is high, isn’t it? What is the lowest percentage anyone has paid for transferring and what method did you use?

Conversion rate was taken from Google.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know the best way to move money from the us to Thailand. I used the atm but their exchange rate sucks. Wired money to my Thai bank account and that exchange rate cost me 2000baht on a 1,000 us deposit, worse than ATM

I'm sure this question has been asked before: what's the best option to send money from my Thai bank to my US bank? I've tried connecting them bank to bank and it never seems to go through. 🤔is it best to just use something like western union?
