What are the best methods to transfer money from the US to Thailand without losing too much on exchange rates?

Russell *********

Open an account with Charles Schwab Bank , u get a bank account and brokerage account .

Anytime u use ATMs that are not theirs they refund u the transaction fee at the end of the month.

And if your card gets ate by the machine, they will FedEx u another at their costs to Thailand
