When transferring USD from my local bank to Wise and then to a Thai bank…about how much is WISE going to charge for their transfer fee? 25k usd being transferred to open bank account. I’m seeing $196. 🤷 and send it as USD and receive as Thai baht or receive as USD to Thai bank?

Whereas my Charles Schwab account will only charge me $15 via wire transfer but will take 3-4 days to be in Thai bank. Is there a massive charge on the Thai end? What am I missing? First timer here. Thanks! And no, not using an agent!!!

Has anyone used Instarem as a means of transferring funds into Thailand. It appears that they have a better exchange rate than Wise but would like to hear if anyone has experienced any problems or a good experience with this company

My bank account was closed, of course. I have Thai baht that I need to convert to USD, then send that money to my Charles Schwab account in the US.

I have no idea how to transfer cash like that.

Does anyone know the method? I'm in Chiang Mai.

Thank you!

Although at Suvarnabhumi Airport Immigration it stated for you to prepare documents, passport Visa boarding pass and TDAC.

I presented the first three, and the TDAC was never asked for, I had my phone out in preparation.

,I received 41.9 Thai baht to GBP, all three kiosks were the same.

So Super Rich is no better than the others, and next time I will consider transferring all my spending money by wise, and not bring some cash to transfer.

or I will take some Thai Baht home for my next visit, just to get me through to my home in Korat.

I'm sure I saw 42.2 buying and 39.1 selling, but on checking my receipt it was 41.9.

Now might be a good time to convert USD to Thai baht if you have been waiting. The Baht has had a strong run against the USD since April 2025 and the USDTHB bottomed out around 31.6 two weeks ago.

USDTHB has had a strong rally up to 32.25 on 9/25 and faces a range of resistance from 32.25 to 32.50 with the next major resistance coming up about 33.50.
