I will be arriving in Thailand October this year on a non O visa. My question is, what is the cheapest way to transfer 800k Baht from my English bank to a Thai bank. I have a Revolut card, but have never used it. Some people say use Wise, others Swift transfer. Your thoughts please gentleman?

What do you find to be the cheapest, easiest, and fastest service to use when transfering smaller amounts money to Thailand?

Hi hope you don't mind me asking question here,I'm coming over in April is revolut any good for cash transfer.ok sorry my pension gos into revolut so I'd be taken money out end of the months .so it's 250 tbh every time use the machine

Okay I have the next dumb question. My buddy is trying to transfer money from Bank of America to Bank of Thailand. He's doing a wire transfer and he's not using wise so let wise go. When we went to do the transfer it asked did we want to use Thai baht, US dollars or euros. We did an experimental run of a thousand US dollars. We chose Thai baht and it gave us an exchange rate of 31.61. not a great exchange rate. Now the question is should we have picked US dollars and then let Bank of Bangkok convert it. Please let us know what you guys think would be the best choice in this quest to bring money to Thailand.

Hi, can someone tell me what exchange rate does the embassy use? Like how much is 500k THB in EUR, USD? I googled it but i doubt they use the same exchange rate.

Can I use 800,000 Baht in cash to open a bank account.

I am thinking that bringing £ over from UK will get me the best exchange rate to Baht

TIA

American bank will charge 35.00 transfer fee to Thai bank and says same day wire with no atm fee. Would using wise be better and if so why. I have looked at the wise site. I appreciate all the help this group has given me so far

Is anybody from Canada using wise to transfer money from Canada to Thailand Tia

How are exchange rates dealt with usually? If I transfer the equivalent of 500k THB in another currency to a bank account and the currency depreciates against the THB over the next 3 months until I will apply for the DTV will they use the exchange rate at the time of application for every historic month or will they use the exchange rate for each month so I have a chance to top up the account to cover for currency fluctuations during these 3 months?

Alternatively do they allow using bank statements from several banks for the application so I can add a statement from another bank as well if needed to get up to 500k THB?

Am I still able to Exchange 500 euro notes in Thailand?
