Should I convert US dollars to Baht before transferring to my Thai bank account or send USD directly?

Willy *******

@Lynnette ******

I think it's very convenient in SEPA area (free and instant) and I can better control if there is problems. And I don't need to link my bankaccount to Wise. Just my Bangkok Bank to my reciepent so not need to add account details again.

@Lynnette ******

I always use Wise like that. First I send SEPA payment from my bank account to Wise. And when it arrives I sen it to my Thailand bank. I choose this method because I can better identify where money is going if problems.

Yes. Most people cannot run AC properly and they set it too cold. I do it same, 26. And my bill varies from 700 (cooler months) to 1500 (now)
