Should I convert US dollars to Baht before transferring to my Thai bank account or send USD directly?

 I don’t want to direct deposit my check incase I decide to leave then have to get it stopped. Probably a fee of $40 at that end and $30 here plus what I loose in exchange rate. I guess chalk that up to moving abroad and expenses.
