Kex, formerly Kerry - recent experiences?
So far, all the delivery services (not located in BKK), have been excellent. ... KEX ... Flash ... SXD ? ... ThaiPost Except the international ones (UPS, DHL, etc), overpriced & crap. My experience anyway, along with almost guaranteed to get hit with customs duty, and silly priced at that. -

SWIFT-WISE Breakeven?
You will do better to use the effective exchange rate for both methods for comparison. Thai banks deduct .25% to receive SWIFT funds with a minimum of 300 and max of 500 ฿. Use the WISE web site to see the effective rate when getting a quote to send funds. Spreadsheets are great for this type of analysis. @Pib posted results of comparison a few years ago. If you have a substantial balance, Schwab and Fidelity may waive the SWIFT fees. Sometimes they do that automatically and sometimes they will do so if you request it. It never hurts to ask. To eliminate the WISE fee for ACH you need to 'push' the funds (initiate the transfer from your bank) to your WISE account using ACH. When the $/฿ rate is rising the Thai banks will lag the WISE rate and when that rate is falling the spread between Thai banks and WISE can narrow. Unfortunately, you cannot lock in the Thai bank rate at the moment you initiate the transfer. Your funds will get the rate in effect when the SWIFT process delivers them to the Thai bank. -

Poll Should Thailand legalize brothels?
Not much. I think most sex tourists and 'sexpats' will still prefer the barfining model, or using "massage" services, or just calling up a girl online. -
