What is the best way to transfer money to Thailand with minimal fees?

James *********

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can legally bring 29,400 aud with you when you fly in, then get it exchanged once here, I use Super rich. For larger amounts I've read many here set up a Wise account, some use revolute, and other such services.
