Leave everything in Canada and move with a suitcase. Everything is available at fair prices and the cost of shipping and customs is exorbitant. Enjoy the experience.

they never even asked for my return ticket. I was 43 days on my 30 day visa exemption and then just bought a 30 day extension for 1900 baht. I just left last week. No issues at all

well I’m not disputing what you are saying, however, I just yesterday transferred Thai baht for a FEE of 31.7 baht cost of transaction to a friends account-as stated. If I use an ATM in Thailand I am charged 220 Baht by bank -plus- the Wise ATM fee of 528 baht ( on 30,000), thereby saving 716.3 baht. I’m talking FEES not exchange rate on transactions. Well worth finding a friend to transfer to.

Todd McGowan I actually buy Thai baht when prices are higher (such as today) and leave in my Thai baht account. Wise offers a great way to hold several currencies. Your example is only 0.8% cost of exchange. Great rate

I transfer to a friend with Wise with no ATM or Wise ATM fees. Each transaction costs 31.7 baht with no cost to my friend.
