Counts are taken from The Baht datasets each time the site is built. “Priced” means the institution publishes a price on its own website. Where the row says catalogue, open it for the list.
Every figure is taken from the institution’s own website, with the page it came from and the date we checked it. If a school or hospital does not publish a price, we say so and leave the cell empty. Nothing is estimated and nothing is taken from a third party.
The Baht is an independent Thai Baht money guide for readers comparing exchange rates, sending money to Thailand, planning travel cash, or making expat finance decisions. Rates are mid-market references, and provider comparisons separate fees from hidden exchange-rate spreads.

The visa is only one part of the move. The real plan is pension income, Thai bank proof, health insurance, State Pension checks and the monthly GBP/THB rate.
We benchmark 8 providers weekly on a timestamped £1,000 UK-to-Thailand transfer. Last checked 23 May 2026, 15:05 BST. This is what 1,000 pounds actually becomes before your Thai recipient spends it.
Timestamped public provider quote pages and published fee/rate disclosures recorded by The Baht for a GBP to THB transfer into a Thai bank account. Where a provider does not publish a comparable final-baht figure without login, the row is marked quote required. Customer quotes can move after the check because providers change spreads, fees, delivery routes, funding methods, fair-use rules, weekend pricing, transfer limits, and promotional offers. Always confirm the live quote before sending. Full 8-provider table on the Send page.
