What are the best apps for sending money to Thailand besides Wise?

Jason *******

I received an overnight email from Wise that their fees will be rising soon.. Not sure if that’s what prompted this thread, but i too will be looking for other options, though im not sure it’s possible to avoid price/fee increases in 2024 .

For me, that combo of cost, ease of portability and other factors makes the most sense.. but others may feel differently, that’s fine too .

Yes, here is the response i posted to someone else: Lots of different options in this thread, but ultimately i think this is the one i will go with.. I’ll do the $15 per mo Mint plan, keep it set to wifi calling while in Asia, and use AIS as my primary carrier.. then just toggle back to the Mint/American phone # when needed.. Thanks !

Yes i used WhatsApp and Line a ton when living in Asia before- but banks and other financial institutions wont send codes thru either.. some wont do codes thru email either, hence why i need to keep my American phone # active .

Can I buy a SIM card online for my phone in Thailand?

Jason *******

@Greg **********

Not to belabor the point, but with an eSIM i dont believe there is any actual “installation” per se, like there is with a physical SIM.. im just hoping they can tell me how to use their service with my phone’s eSIM , im assuming it wont be a problem .

@Greg **********

Thanks, i have no idea either which is why im hoping they’ll be able to do it at the airport.. i am guessing that, by now, they have dealt with lots of eSIM-only phones .
