The exchange rate may be slightly better but when they tried to charge well over $100 for the transfer it raised my suspicions so I made the transfer from my offshore bank the very same day and ended up with more bahts in my account than Wise had quoted. I don't know how else I can put it - I got more bahts than using Wise.
The only time I looked at Wise for an annual international transfer a few years ago, I actually got more in to my Thai account just using my offshore bank than I was quoted from Wise. Never looked at them since
When I did my annual renewal at Phuket Immigration in December they picked up that I had stayed in Ranong for a couple of nights and did not get an updated TM30.
They asked me to contact my landlord and get a new one there and then.

"especially when you are over 60 or so"
It is difficult for us "over 60's" when we cant even walk in to a room without forgetting why we went in there in the first place. 🤣🤣
