Any issues using Wise to transfer Thai baht FROM Thailand TO a US bank?

As WC Fields famously said "I practice moderation in everything except moderation."

I have a US Schwab brokerage and checking account with a Thai address and mailing address. No problems at all! 2-3 months before my debit card is to expire, I call the to make sure they will send them to my Thailand address.  I don't remember them charging me for the UPS/FedEx delivery. I don't have a US phone number, only a Thai one.

I imagine it would depend on if the account was individual (farang only) or joint with the questioner being the joint tenant.

Bangkok Bank will not allow me to have two accounts.  Tried to open one at a different branch.  No go!

If you're referring to the AWFUL stuff I had to drink the night before, I couldn't agree MORE!!!

Dr Jack 54, Do you mean that in using the monthly method, the transfer can be used immediately?  How many months if any does this method have to be used before Imm recognizes it as acceptable for a retirement visa?  I'm thinking of switching back from the 800,000 method.

If it is a JOINT account, doesn't the joint account holder have equal access/owner ship?  Why would the question of being a heir come up?  Thanks in advance!!

I have vertical diplopia (diagnosed in America about 12 years as 4th nerve palsy) which is correctable with prisms in my eyeglasses.  To make my story short, I went to Paris Miki in Bangkok after several unsatisfactory experiences In Udonthani and Kohn Kaen.  EXCELLENT results!!!

It's his choice to make and, on the surface, it seems like he's chosen those who agree with him.  That also is what EVERY President does.  Again, on the surface, it seems that some of his choices may not have the qualifications that Washington insiders want.  But the voters have chosen this maverick (Trump) knowing that he will do this.  I just wish he would not make in-recess appointments so that Congress (biased) has the opportunity to question them.  Just look what "qualified" and "experienced" has gotten us in the past!  Corruption and Washington "elites" making the same self-serving decisions!

cryingdick cited his source!  These sources are the ones you should be jumping on, not this poster!

Nearly all these comments are directed at Trump as a person and not at his policies!  Wonder why that is?  Personally and morally repugnant behaviora re rightly excoriated, but how about JFK's affairs while IN  the White House" and Clinton's also?  Selective outrage? Short-term memories"  Or a sign of the times (media influence)? 

I have noticed that most of the farangs posting here are radical lefties.  That TH is more conservative has nothing to do with the farang posting (IMHO).  Why these posts are more liberal probably has more to do with the fact that liberals are more vocal than conservatives.

I don't understand how these politicians think they can get away with all these "exaggerations" and outright lies especially with the increasing growth of fact checking!  Do they think we are stupid, or are they?  Now let's hear the fact checking on Trump!

The only serious problem for the Biden family is how he can withdraw while still preserving some dignity!

Why single out Fox News?  ALL the so-called "legacy" media outlets are just as guilty!!  There are few that are truly "news," most are purely opinion soapboxes!

As an expat, I consider myself as a guest in LOS and one reason I love it here is because of the Thai culture!  I respectfully submit that those expats who don't like the water splashing tradition during Songkran try to learn its meaning and if you still don't like it, just stay home.

Living in Udonthani now for over seven years, I have found that speaking Thai (or Isaan here in the NE) is not necessary for at least two reasons: 1.) There is a LOT of English signage in the area; and 2.)  Many Thais I encounter seem to prefer to practice their English with me.  In my extended Thai family, most speak Thai (central I assume), Issan and Lao languages.  Side note: My sister-in-law taught English in a Thai school and I have a difficult time with her English pronunciation.  And she doesn't seem to want to practice it with me.  Embarrassed?  Maybe.
