Best way to transfer money to Thailand please?
To OP, It sounds like you are sending small amounts ($100 USD) using SWIFT, and your bank is charging an outgoing wire transfer fee of $30 or more. Kasikorn charges an incoming wire fee of 500 baht, so that can get really expensive if you're sending small amounts. Better to send a larger amount to Kasikorn and use the money, then when your balance starts to get low, send more. Many foreigners in Thaialnd use Wise to send money from their home country, and it seems to work well for them. I get money in Thailand in two ways. 1. I wire USD from my US Chase Bank (no wire fees due to my relationship), to my USD account with Bangkok Bank. I convert it to my THB account whenever I'm ready. Bangkok Bank charges min. 200B, max 500B incoming fee at .0025. So, if I send $2,400 USD, Bangkok Bank charges me $6.00. Chase doesn't charge me anything. My wire transfer take 1 day to post, but that's not a big deal because I keep enough to live on, so I don't have to rush to send money. I could send USD directly to my THB account, and let Bangkok Bank convert it automatically when they get it, but I prefer to watch the rates and convert it myself. 2. I watch the MC & Visa exchange rates, and get THB from the ATM if the rates are good. There's a 220B ATM fee for each transaction, but Chase Bank reimburses me for the 220B fee. Good luck... -

Renewal of USA passport by mail in Thailand (current details of the process once begun)
Thanks. However the renewal by mail in Thailand has a number of differences from renewal in the US. So really only information and reports about renewal by mail in Thailand are really relevant to this topic. -

Yes, but he still sharpens blades, which is the main thing for me at this time. When he gets more soaps in I'll buy the one I like.
