What is the cheapest way to transfer funds to a Thai bank account?
Eric **********
@Jared ********
 Just out of curiosity I did a Wise transfer and a wire from my Fidelity account. The difference was insignificant.

 Exactly. My tax return in the US last year was 162 pages!! Good luck making sense of that. I barely understand it.

 Not to mention how many languages? I find it hard to believe the Thai tax folks have the infrastructure to deal with the enormity of the situation.

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

If you have a cash account at a brokerage house like Schwab or Fidelity you can wire to your bank here for free. Rate it very close to Wise.

 Another note I use a Skype number for all my interactions with Fidelity and a US credit union. Flawless.

 I use Fidelity and their wires are free. Another benefit is 24 hours a day you get a real person on the phone. You do need to have “standing orders” set up before you leave the states. I assumed Schwab has the same.

Do you have a Fidelity or Schwab account? I use Fidelity and just do a wire transfer to BKK. Free and easy. Rates equal to Wise.
