It used to be Bangkok Bank. I had 17 consecutive transfers marked correctly. Now I am not so sure because there have been issues recently and I can't check my statements. By many accounts Wise have changed their partner bank to Kasikorn which might be more reliable now. I asked Wise to tag my Account which they did.

@Andrew ******

that might not be true. I can not access the banking app but I can use the debit card to make payments. I am also told I can log in on line but I dont know the log in details.

@Greg **********

I thought that asblongvas the money was easily accessible the type of account was not important.

£100 is cheap for the peace of mind it gives me. Trust me on that one.

@Russell *******

I have been unable to check since May when access to my banking app (no prizes for guessing which bank) was denied. I'm back next month and I am hoping uts OK.

@David ******

I can assure you that after the months of stress and anxiety I have suffered over getting monthly transfers to show the correct way it is not worth it. Swift transfers have failed. Wise transfers have failed and each month I wait in trepidation of how the transfer will be coded. It is also much much more expensive to do swift transfers from my uk bank and if they appear regularly they will consider I am living in Thailand and close my account. It has already happened once. Having 0 baht stashed gives me peace of mind which is worth far more to me than a little interest I might loose out on. Plus there is no tax obligation on my banked money and as I rarely spend baht a month I am better off there too. I did get my last extension based on monthly payments but having experienced both methods the banked money comes out way in top for me.

@Trevor *******

I do all my transfers through Wise and they show as international transfer. Interestingly when applying for my extension the IO dud not seem interested in this and asked me for proof of where the funds had come from. I provided my uk bank statements with which they tied up money out with money in and were happy. Next year I will also have my Wise proof of transfer documents to hand as well.

@Phil **********

I was referring yo the fact that David Scott implied it in his initial comment, not you.

@Phil **********

but there is no need to make out that those who choose a different path are stupid.

@Nongnuch *******

I quite agree with you. I have tried both and having the 0 baht deposit gives far more security and far less anxiety so I am going back to it.
