กะลาสี *****
I have used Dee Money to Xfer money out of Thailand in the past. I transferred money on a Sunday and it was in my foreign account the next day. I believe that they charge a fee of 150 ฿ regardless the amount you transfer. However, their exchange rate is lower than the market rate and this is where they make their money.

What calling apps can I use in Thailand to receive calls like TextMe?
กะลาสี *****
I use Text Now also. Any of the free calling apps should work from Thailand for you (they do for me as along as I have internet access.) There is no need for a VPN.
