I used Sea Smile in Patong Beach 2014. 5 crowns done for about $5,000 aud. 8 years later no problems. They had photo albums of happy clients categorised by country of origin. I'm a very happy customer.
Yep. Same here past transfers in as small a time as 5 seconds. From Australia, during a conversation with my wife in Thailand, as long as in joint bank hours, I could say check your account and she would have the money. Now the app just keeps cyling in the "do not refresh or leave this page or transfer may fail". After a few minutes I go back and check status of transfer. Sometimes complete, sometimes waiting for hours. Understand re Buddha holidays.
And Transferwise transfers from Australia to Thailand are literally completed in seconds when using Poli mode. You see the exchange rate, the low fees and I can ring my wife and tell her so many thb has just gone into your account, irrespective of business hours.
