I prefere Thailand. But a bank service like in Cambodia would be good for sending small amounts. I put it this way. Unfortunately you cannot send money from abroad inexpensive to this app. I use the app when they have the option

I send to myself in Cambodia. With Money gram. To a Wing Account. 0 fee. Unfortunately I cannot see any simular service in Thailand. Only if you have a thai account. And if I have a Thai acc I have everything I need already🤷‍♂️

@Gregory *******
you can scan at
****
with thai bank acc. Apple orders no idea as I use android or microsoft🤷‍♂️ 20% discount is the only benefit I see. It could be for me but without being able to top up from abroad I don't see the real advantage. It would be nice if they would add such an option. Or if there would be another institution offering the service😉

it's not cool having to hide like 200k baht under the mattrass or pillow or in hotel safe. So cash is not a good option. Sending with Western Union is too expensive. If you're not a tourist and you have a thai bank account you don't need true money app at all. You can scan and pay everything with your thai bank. So the app is pretty useless unless you can send money inexpensive from abroad

@Gregory *******
if I have a Thai bank account why would I even need the app? Pretty pointless
Marc ********
@Gregory *******
yeah IF!!! In case you didn't know yet...foreigners with tourist visa and visa exemption cannot open bank accounts anymore

I am still waiting for something simular like Wing Bank from Cambodia.

You can send money to your account via money gram or western union. Without fee.

If I have to go 7eleven or use a thai bank or go to ATM to put money on it. Pretty useless.

he just needs an agent not charching more than 4000b. In his case staying at hotel only to get the tm30 form is nonsense
Marc ********
@Paul *******
why would he go to a hotel if he still needs an agent? Hotel still costs money right? 500b for a shitty hotel. And some of them don't know about tm30. You need a good hotel then maybe 1000b. Then you have to wait in queue at Immigration. You will at least spend 2 hours there. So at the end of the day it will cost you 3000b for still having to spend time at immigration. Agent will charge about 4000b no waiting, no tm30, no hotel stay🤷‍♂️

Not complicated at all🤦🏻 Booking a hotel and having to stay the exact same day as applying. He dosn't want the hassle that's why he is asking for an agent🤦🏻
