thank you for your detailed reply. Regarding the 800k THB. Can the equivalent or more of that be held in a U.K. bank account ? I do have a Thai bank account but prefer to keep most of my money in U.K. to get higher interest.
I think it’s because Wise doesn’t send direct to SCB. It goes via partner bank Kasikorn who then transfer on to SCB. This then becomes domestic transfer on the statement.
