Sending $1,000.00. Effective rate = mid-market minus the provider's FX margin. Indicative only — verify before sending. Open the live comparator →
Transfers from the United States to Thailand are most commonly sent for family support and retirement. On a $1,000.00 transfer, the choice of provider can make a difference of ฿1,171 — money that disappears into fees and FX margin when you pick the wrong service.
The advertised exchange rate is rarely what you get. Most banks and transfer services quote a rate that includes a hidden FX margin of 0.5–4% above the mid-market USD/THB rate. That margin is often the largest single cost on a transfer, which is why FX Skipper deducts it before ranking and shows you what actually arrives in Thailand.
Right now, Revolut gives the best net result on $1,000.00: your recipient receives about ฿33,624 (0.00% total cost). Always check the live comparator before sending — rates move daily.
Total cost ranges from about ฿0 with the cheapest provider to ฿1,171 with the most expensive — a difference of roughly ฿1,171 on a single transfer.
The mid-market rate is approximately 1 USD = 33.6237 THB as of 2026-07-28. Providers add an FX margin on top — the table shows each provider's effective rate after that margin is deducted.
