Is using Wise better than traditional banks for transferring money to Thailand?

Kenny *****

I usually transfer to my Thai USD account from BOA for $45.00 fee.

And wait for the exchange rate to be better than exchange from Thai USD to Thai Baht account.

Have checked wise before but with the fees i think its about the same as i am doing.
