Can Revolut send money to a Thai bank account?

No. Revolut cannot hold Thai baht or pay into a Thai bank account, so it cannot be used to fund a Thai account or a visa deposit. Wise can.

Is Wise or Revolut better for Thailand?

Wise for moving money into Thailand; Revolut (or the Wise card) for spending while you are there. They are complementary rather than direct substitutes.

Wise vs Revolut for Thailand

For Thailand, Wise and Revolut solve different problems: Wise can send Thai baht into a Thai bank account, while Revolut cannot — so Wise is the tool for moving money in, and Revolut is a card for spending while you travel.

These two are often compared, but for Thailand specifically the decisive fact is delivery: Revolut cannot hold Thai baht or pay into a Thai bank account. That rules it out for funding a Thai account or a visa deposit.

Both are excellent for what they are designed to do — the question is which job you need done.

Provider	$1,000.00 lands as	To a Thai bank?	Foreign-transfer proof	Speed
Wise Transfer service	฿33,115.28−$6.00 vs mid-market	Yes	On request	Often same day
Revolut Fintech / card	Can’t deliver THB	No	No	Instant (card spend)

Worked on today’s mid-market rate ($1,000.00 = ฿33,315.00). Fee and FX figures are typical, illustrative assumptions, last checked mid-2026; real pricing varies by amount, plan, and day.

Delivering baht to Thailand

Wise pays Thai baht straight into a recipient’s Thai bank account. Revolut cannot send to a Thai bank account or hold THB, so it is not an option for moving money into Thailand at all.

Spending while travelling

Revolut is a strong travel-spending card with good weekday rates across major currencies. Wise’s card does the same job well; both beat DCC and airport booths if you always choose to be charged in baht.

Gotchas

Revolut adds a weekend FX markup and applies fair-usage and ATM-withdrawal limits. Wise shows its fee upfront and has no weekend surcharge.

Who each is best for

Wise: Best for sending money into Thailand, funding a Thai account, or a visa deposit.
Revolut: Best for day-to-day card spending while travelling (as a companion, not a way to move money in).

The verdict

If you need to get money into a Thai bank account, Wise is the answer — Revolut simply cannot do it. Carry Revolut (or the Wise card) for spending, and use Wise for the transfer.
