Been using Wise for years now and we transfer monthly without any problems. Usually it takes just seconds to minutes from the Wise acc. to the Thai bank acc. Tried all the other options, but overall Wise comes out on top.

What are the fees for using a Bangkok Bank card for withdrawals in the UK?

Valère *************************

@David *********

Yes me too, in Europe, no problem. BKK bank and SCB both. Withdraw cash cost depends on the local ATM/bank between €2,50 and €12. Best is to take as much as possible per time.

What is the best way to get from Udon Thani Airport to Vientiane?

Valère *************************

It's been a while but it's not more than a few 100thb. A rot-daeng (shared ride) is the cheapest option if you're on a tight budget but then you can't be in a hurry. Don't forget to check the border opening times. They (used to) close at night.
