I had issues with wise when I was in Thailand in may aswell, transfers from my Aussie bank to my bkk bank were taking 2 days to transfer,however if I sent money to my mates kasikorn it'd take seconds?
i am Interested in this option to be at least conversational in thai as currently I only know a few basic bits and peices. Do you know how many/how often classes are and or the cost involved?
selling the home would be only way for me to get over there if I decide on it full time and even then I'd still have to try and make a few pennies to not eat into the mo ey from it
I opened my account on a tourist visa in November 24 and during my trip in may I got myself a permanent thai phone number and updated this at my branch in pattaya. Bank account is still active so far.
