In UK there are 0% cards, need to do some research before travel

@Tony ********

of course you can't avoid the ATM fee if using an ATM

Depends on the UK bank card, if he'd used a card with zero foreign commission it would have been similar to Wise, plan ahead get the best card you can

@Karim **************

Probably is better to self insure as people will get their claims denied anyway due to undisclosed pre-existing conditions, insurance cancelled also

Everything will be pre-existing, claims denied

@John ********

You're a troll anyway with no photos on your profile, trolls get ignored

Wise "should" show as International transfer if you select reason for transfer "long term stay" or "buying a property" and use Bangkok Bank. Slight caveat, occasionally if Wise has funding issues it may go via a different intermediary and not show as International. To test do a small test transfer first, don't send over weekend or hols to avoid any delay and issues. I'd choose Tues, Weds or Thurs

@John ********

why didn't you bring an older farang wife with you or meet a farang one here? because you wanted a much younger thai wife

@John ********

irrelevant drivel, is your wife younger? no one is talking about the perspective of thai women, it's about a farang woman wanting to live in Thailand

@Charlie ****

what a fool you are if you don't see it and yes I've travelled all over Thailand
