Anonymous participant I think as a foreigner you can easily live without too much cash. And 1% which is what 220 baht more or less is of

thb it's probably less than the foreign fee the bank charge you for a wire transfer anyway... Using wise to transfer money you pay about 0.7% in fees...
I use Visa and MasterCard wherever it's taken if no fees are added.
Any bigger restaurants and 7-Eleven and grocery stores will take it.
Maybe I need 20,000 Thai baht in cash in a month.
Sure it's more convenient to pay rent automatically from a thai bank account as well as maybe electricity bills?
