RickG16 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I'm aware you can't send THB internationally using Wise, only within Thailand. Can somebody recommend a small fee transfer alternative for sending from Thai to UK account? Is Deemoney any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puccini Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I would use SWIFT, and I would ask my Thai bank to send GBP, not THB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalasin Jo Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I've used Deemoney and Bangkok Bank to do this. No problems with either. I had to register with Deemoney first which required uploading some paperwork, a couple of phone calls and an exchange of emails and took a couple of days to get approved. I was already a customer with Bangkok Bank and registration was online and approval within a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Deemomey how much do you pay for a transfer of over 20,000 THB into GBP Also what paperwork do they require? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Tempest Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 How can I send money out of Thailand? Bank transfer. A direct bank transfer is a reliable and easy way to transfer money abroad if you have a local Thai bank account. ... DeeMoney. DeeMoney is a dedicated Thai remittance service. ... Western Union & MoneyGram. ... Cryptocurrency. ... Cash conversion. ... Skrill. ... PayPal. DeeMoney seems to offer the best rates and fees from what I have heard.
