Mike Orbon yeah what I’m learning is Bangkok bank and Kasikorn bank are the ones Wise sends the money to for transfers to Thailand. From there they are transferred to banks like mine (Krungsri) as a local transfer.
I’ve been trying to figure this out also. Wise has some advantages, but getting the transfer marked as international (funds from USA) can be problematic. They go through a Thai bank. I think it’s Kasikorn. I have Krungsri bank. Did my initial transfer with wise. Went to my bank and asked for a confirmation letter of international transfer. They refused to do it.  I think I will be sending funds from my Schwab account going forward.
When I applied for my 90 day, non-O visa back in October I showed equivalent of ฿800,000 in my USA account. They came back and asked me to show proof of ฿65,000 in income over the last three months.
It actually took me a while to figure out what they were talking about because of the language barrier and because it wasn’t listed as a requirement on the application. But that’s what they wanted. so fortunately I was able to provide that.
