I was using Wise to send money from the U.S. to my wife's account in Thailand (TTB). Any suggestions for a replacement since Wise says "this bank no longer accepts cross-border remittances." Does this mean Wise or all electronic transfer systems?

Hello there, asking for advice regarding money transfers to the EU (Austria). I have been sending money to my daughter (just small amounts, less than EUR 800 every other month) via Western Union without any problems. Last Thursday they suddenly declined and asked me to fill in a document requiring the birth certificate of my daughter, my pension certificate and what not. I find that a bit too much, especially given the fact that they accept payments into Thailand without much ado. Anybody knows a way around or a better option to send money to the EU? My bank, Krungsri, is asking horrendous fees.

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?

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.
