Just gotten my card yesterday.

From the few recent posts I read, we dont really have to convert some amount into say, Baht, before we start spending in Thailand?

The MYR that is in the account, will be deducted once we transact, assuming there's no other currencies in the account?

If I have both MYR and Baht, spending in Thailand will automatically deduct from Baht account first?

If I have 3 currencies, say MYR, Baht and USD, while shopping, my Baht runs to zero, the extra amount to be deducted or the next transaction will be deducted from MYR? It won't simply deduct from any funded currency account right?

My partner isn't able to use the contactless function to pay in Bangkok, despite the feature being enabled in the app. Is that the norm for Thailand?

Yea, I also didnt know about this Jar thing until Wise deducted my Baht and not my larger MYR amouny account while spending in Singapore.

This feature only accessible via webpage right? Cant find it in app.

If you've wise. They've wise. They can send money to your wise account

They cannot send to your bank acc. Bank acc to wise Or wise to bank acc need to be same account name.

Is this understanding correct?

I thought they promote you can get paid in foreign currency even if you are working remotely for a foreign company?

Else how a foreign company (not your name definitely) can transfer to your Wise account? Or need to apply separately?
