Newbie here. Recently gotten my Wise card and I'm planning to add in 5k baht inside but having compare today and yesterday rate. Shouldn't the lower rate be cheaper?
Also, the instruction stated I need to make in store payment to activate the card. Can I add money in Thai Baht and when I'm in Bangkok I can start to active there? Or must I activate locally first?
Yes the lesser you pay in RM which means getting the same amount for less
Suggest you to put both in baht and RM and if you sure you are the best rate during your travel then put more in Baht

Ohh okay thank you sir. For the in store payment, can it include restaurant or bakery shop that accepts VISA?
Just to reaffirm, I just put money in RM and not in Baht when I am in Bangkok, it will auto convert without any issue?
Do you think is better to put in RM or Baht when I am in Bangkok as I’m seeing the rate now is fluctuating?
Yes as long as the payment terminal accepts Visa
Auto conversion is subject to Wise network but it should have 99% service availability with low downtime because it is critical service
If baht is fluctuating don’t put all at once only put the amount you need spend
