Either 800k once or 65k every month… must be money coming from outside into a Thai bank.

Exception is if your embassy verifies your pension. But be aware that 2000 euros maybe less that

Why was I denied entry to Thailand and how can I ensure a stamp next time?

Robert ********

If you don’t get it, we can’t help you.

Your edit so clearly states “ this guy is using visa exemptions instead of regular visa to stay almost all year. He must be evading government for some reason”

What are the best options for transferring large sums of money from the UK to Thailand while minimizing fees?

Robert ********

Please for your own sake for her the fees!

The exchange rate makes all the difference.

Just use a calculator.

0.5% fees vs 2-3% loss in exchange rate!

@Emmanuel *************

Pretty dumb to look at the fees. Specially on large amounts.

Important is what arrives at the destination.

Wise fees: 0.5%

Difference in exchange rate: 2%

You loose 1.5% if you don’t use wise. Simple math.

Use Wise.

Interbank exchange rates (about 2-3% better than banks)!

Multicurrency account (wait for good exchange rate)!

Less than 0.5% fees.

CC without fees.

I had the same problem with Swiss bank and kasikorn. Swiss bank took 5CHF, but exchange rates killed me.

PM me if you want a small bonus when opening your account.
