Just sent funds from Australia via Wise @2140 28 July 2022

Arrived in my account in less than a minute as usual.

Transfers occur on public holidays, maybe because it is a local transfer

I sent $5,000 from Wise US to SCB on the 28th, at 05:55 Thailand time. Wise says expected delivery on August 1.

More info about bank and wise transfers and the time it takes would be welcome.

Anything over 50,000 THB appears to go by the slower process, similar to when you select the funds are for long stay or house building.

I think so. I also used Wise to send $54,000 (equivalent to Wise's maximum of 2m Baht, which I assume is either SCB or BOT maximum for online transfers) on the 29th, and Wise said it would be in SCB on August 2.

Wise sent an update and said they won't have the money in my SCB account until 2pm tomorrow, August 2.
