Just a head up for people with a Barclays Premier account in the UK.

Transfers are free from these accounts to a Thai Bank account.

Before you start

To complete an international payment you’ll need:

a PINsentry device

the IBAN or SWIFTBIC number of the bank you’re paying intoThey will

let you know how long the payment will take and if there are any charges before you confirm.

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’ll let everyone do the maths on this 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?

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 ?

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 ?
