What is the best way to transfer US dollars to a Thai bank account in Baht?

Francesco **********

true, and that’s the reason why i opened wise some time ago… revolut had the same small fees in the past, then they added a 1% and fortunately they removed it lately

@Tore *****************

with revolut you have a monthly free of charge payment... i did quite many times to my thai bank account and i always paid only SCB fees... but ok, lately i'm using cryptos to transfer money (usdt or LTC from any exchange to bitkub and then to my bank here): cheaper and definitely faster
