ive already advised to open a "Thai" Currency Jar...so your wise account is in baht.....you can then pay using QR codes ....which is what a thai bank account allows you to do....should try it ....its dead easy...

@Sebastian ********
not many people know how to use the QR code functionality and all the other features

@Tarem ****
you don’t know how to to use the wise account properly - you should ADD a currency for Thai baht.

Send money from home country account to this balance yes may take a few hours.

Once you have the funds you can 1/ use the QR codes to pay for almost everything 2/use the green card itself to pay contactless in big stores.

Only thing you cannot avoid in the ATM fee- unless you go in bank with passport and withdraw baht

People obsessed with getting a Thai bank account - why ? You really don’t need one.

Get WISE account and use it Properly and exactly like a Thai bank account.

QR codes purchases , hold money in baht, pay with card at big stores.
