When i speak english in india most can not understand unless you speak slowly and need to modulate the words you use. Otherwise it is hard for a non native speaker to understand.

I just use wise transfer to same bank from uk bank to wise then to bank in thailand cheaper by big amount.

Open a wise account get wise debit card. They have bank accociate in Thailand

Before i went on the longboat the office at Ranong. All problems go away when you have a agent.

Went to Ranong. Office there refused to let me do the vosa without a flight booked out of thailand. But it was obvious that it was never going to be right untill i give the agent there 2300 baht. Then everthing was okay. 😮 Amazing transformation. I have a Thai Lady i stay with. It is worked between the immigration office and the agents. All farangs are going to find this.
