theoldgit Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 No, you cannot use Wise to send funds from Thailand to any country. Try Dee Money or the K+ App, though with both you need a bank account in the Philippines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can't use Wise to send money from Thailand to it, or to anywhere else for that matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the Thai government makes it difficult for people to send money OUT of Thailand but sending money into Thailand is not a problem. The only one that is allowed is Dee Money. I wonder whether Dee Money is connected to the Thai government? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as Dee Money you can also send cash out of Thailand via some Thai Banking Apps, for instance I and a number of other members have sent cash out of Thailand via K+, as I mentioned a few days ago.

We are talking about good exchange rates, banks have the worst exchange rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP was asking about sending money from his Kasikorn Account via Wise, he never mentioned exchange rates. As a matter of interest though, my most recent transfers via K+ certainly had a better exchange rate and transfer fee that Dee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give a link to it since it has better exchange rate? Edited December 28, 2021 by EricTh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't claim it always had a better exchange rate, I said "my most recent transfers via K+ certainly had a better exchange rate and transfer fee that Dee" You need to bank with Kasikorn, like the OP, and install their App https://www.kasikornbank.com/en/personal/digital-banking/kplus/functions/basic/Pages/international-transfer.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have bank accounts with 3 other banks and don't wish to open another one just to transfer money. So the only money transfer out of Thailand that is independent of any banks is still Dee Money and maybe western union? But we all know western union give one of the worst rates.

The fact that you may not wish to open any more accounts maybe relevant to you, but the OP has an account with Kasikorn, and my responses were relevant to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
