Hi folks,
I have not as yet renewed my extension of stay (based on retirement) other than via an agent.
I am considering trying the DIY route next time and I ask the following question:
If I wish to transfer the funds from my UK Lloyds bank a/c to my Thai Bangkok Bank a/c, what would be the most cost-effective method? I believe that Lloyds only charges £9.50, but I have no control over the potential levy which intermediary banks may impose. Also, there would be no guarantee of the exchange rate.
I have long used Wise (formerly TransferWise) to transfer funds for day-to-day living expenses, but I think that the fees for transferring a large amount of cash may be punitive.
Thanks, in advance.
David.
