Wow. This page seems to have gathered similar unhappy assholes to the ThaiVisa website.

Now I see. It says they will not send Thai Baht out from Thailand. I have never tried to send Thai Baht. I am in Thailand but I always send USD. You can have USD accounts at many banks here. Thank you for clarifying.

Last time I checked, foreigners have to go there and register before they can use the app. Still true? I was too lazy to do it!

Not true. I live in Thailand, and I use Transferwise to transfer

money out of Thailand every month. I don't know if it is "against the rules" or if it because I use a VPN, but it works just fine.

I use my US debit card. I have used my Thai credit card but it takes longer and the fee is higher for credit cards. My Thai debit card never works for anything online.

My limited experience: Thailand remains under close international scrutiny regarding money laundering. Banks are extremely cautious about opening accounts. I always have to show my passport, which has my business visa, and I have been asked to produce my work permit. They want to know what you're up to. I would be surprised if they would do it from abroad.

When I did that through my US Chase account, Bangkok Bank still charged me an international transfer fee. It was pricey. Has something changed?

Oh wow. Melts my heart.
