POker triad,how long are you going to stay here?
I live pattaya,been here 2 years.I just use moneybookers to transfer from poker site to whatever account you've registered with them,i have uk bank and Thai registered with money bookers.The only bitch is the withdrawal limits.
I personally dont use wire transfers,but ive heard they are pretty reliable here.
Hope this helps a little.
