What are the best methods for an American expat to learn Thai effectively?

Srini ******

I think it's best to learn the simple words and phrases. I speak several languages that I learned when I was very young and I found it's very hard to learn Thai especially being a tonal language.

What are the best methods and costs for studying Thai language?

Srini ******

It's daunting to learn a tonal language...I gave up quickly. You really need to have the aptitude and patience and spend a lot of time. This is coming from someone who can speak several languages.. But all learned at a very young age.

Do money transfers from a US Bank using WISE show as domestic or foreign transfers into a Thai bank account?

@John *******

not it's not false that was me experience.. In fact wise told me to use a wire transfer to make sure. I still recommend a wire transfer to be on the safe side. I had to transfer the funds again so Bangkok Bank would accept it.. So F off John.

I think that option was added later after a lot of complaints.. Myself included. That's good to know they have that option.

That's good to know.. Maybe it's changed since I used it. I always do a wire transfer especially when it's regarding a retirement Visa. I had a lot of problems with wise and Bangkok Bank. They would not certify the funds came from overseas.

Phil Jones That's still not going to work.. It has to show this on the receiving Bank statement. The reason doesn't show up on the receiving Bank side... That's just an internal thing on wise..

It's best to do a wire transfer if you need it for a retirement visa. Wise uses local bank's to do the transfer..i think there's a way to request them to show it as an international transfer. I got burned by it since the bank didn't accept it as a transfer from a foreign source for Visa purpose because it showed as a local transfer.

You can't use it towards showing the funds came from overseas unless it's a wire transfer or shows the foreign bank name
