The exchange rate is poor for SWIFT bank transfer, the bigger the transfer, the more money the bank gets.

 

1400 is only the fixed fee, the other profit comes from the exchange rate difference.

 

So the bigger the transfer, it's better to use Wise/Instrarem/Moneydee

Pointless to mention Wise, since it would not have been possible to use Wise.

I can't speak to "Instrarem" or "Moneydee", and perhaps it is different with other banks and or other countries, but I have used TransferWise/Wise any number of times, and I know with absolute certainty that for larger transfers (over ~US$10K) , doing an online transfer from Chase bank in the US to a Thai account is cheaper. 

The OP was not transferring from the USA to Thailand, and for his transfer from Thailand to the USA Wise would not have been available, therefore, it is pointless to mention Wise.

Any idea the limit for a dual citizen sending out of Thailand?

No limit, as long as the sender is able to dispel any possible suspicion of money laundering, if asked to do so.

So the best option to transfer money out of Thailand is Bangkok Bank?

There are slight variations in the exchange rate from one bank to the next.

In the title, he uses US, which is two-thirds of the currency symbol USD, which he obviously means.

 

In the body of his post, he used Baht, the name of the Thai currency, which has the symbol THB.

 

Of course, it would be better to use either the symbols or the names consistently, but we are not all financial wizards.

Sorry for posting too fast and not to your liking. I've only got an undergrad with majors in accounting and economics and a masters in corporate finance. Both degrees with honors.

Not so sure about that. Doubt it would have been as easy to wire a few million USD.  took us a fair amount of time just to do this amount.

so to not have any problem with sending money back to where it came from,your recieving bank acc.in thailand should issue an international transfer certificate,which you MUST keep safe.

The way I read the post is that he sent 300 k to the United States  . There is no indication what so ever on what currency was sent . That has nothing to do with being a financial expert , just a sentence that does not make any sense .

You didn't understand it because it was in a secret code only understood by people that "...only got an undergrad with majors in accounting and economics and a masters in corporate finance. Both degrees with honors."

And it pretty much means nothing unless it's in a STEM major and was  completed more than ten years ago.
