norbra Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Deemony will do this for you as will Western Union. Both have apps on play store. Both use the same exchange rate WU next day delivery,DM 4 days delivery to AU. Or check out international transfers with your Thai bank Edited April 10 by norbra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korat Kiwi Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I'd be looking at getting your hands on a Wise account/card. Better exchange rates and less fees. Western Union are not the most economical way of transferring money. Very much like a convience store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a Wise account (From when I was in NZ) and with it I have opened accounts for AUD, THB, NZD and USD. I can transfer funds between accounts as I see fit. So if say THB has dropped in value, meaning I get a better exchange rate from NZD then I can do the transfer. It's done online in seconds (via my cellphone). The debit card allows me to use the ATMs for cash in appropriate currency without paying additional exchange rates. But I haven't deposited THB into/onto the account. Maybe that could be the hurdle?

I'm inclined to think that may be the case. I can send AUD to Thailand with Wise. Not the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
