I'm just saying that one needs to be careful with Swift and best to inquire at one's bank vs just saying that it's the best

Been stung a few times with "best" for some in the past...

Example: how to avoid atm fees in Thailand. Oh if you have bank account f

Go into bank with atm card and do a transfer with a bank teller. Did that one, resulting in chase charging me 8.5% atm used not at an atm, and another 8.5% foreign translation fees, but yeah didn't have to pay any atm fee. However I was like #*$&%*

@Wayne ********
doesn't the 1st part " send us the money " also cost something when doing the transfer from bank to them. Also I'm from us and would be some currency conversion and time to send this company my us dollars I'd think 🤔

yes you are correct,, what I meant was a stand alone crosswalk "that's not on a corner" where there is already traffic lights... i,e, standalone crosswalk, nowhere near an intersection, The only other one I'm aware of was last year on 2nd road in downtown near Soi Honey, however this year when I walk by, this one is no longer operational.
