Withdraw cash off the wise card , you can use the wise to pay for things like normal bank card online and if you have the bank details of a Thai you can transfer money to them off the card, i usually send money to my gf to withdraw as her withdrawal fees like 10-40 baht where as using wise cards it’s 220
