Below, we analyze Singapore to Thailand historical remittance data to help you understand where costs may arise and share some best practices to try to maximize your THB payout.
Data-driven cost insights for Singapore to Thailand money transfers
When you send money internationally from Singapore to Thailand, the key factors that will influence the overall cost of your transaction are:

🛠️ Key takeaway: Compare providers using both exchange rate and fees, then optimize your payment and delivery methods to reduce total cost.
Below, we provide detailed data-driven insights on various factors that influence the total cost of your Singapore to Thailand money transfers.
📈 SGD to THB exchange rate is often the biggest driver of both cost and payout
The exchange rate on your Singapore to Thailand money transfers is usually the single biggest factor that will determine your overall SGD cost and your recipient's THB payout.
To analyze exchange rates, we will rely on the exchange rate markup (also called FX margin) which is the difference between the mid-market exchange rate
Based on historical pricing data for a SGD 260 money transfer benchmark, we see the following FX markup ranges for Singapore Dollar to Thailand transfers:
- Average markup: 2.03%
- Median markup: 1.84%
- Lowest markup: -2.51%
ⓘA negative markup generally represents a promotional exchange rate whereby a provider offers an exchange rate that is even higher than the mid-market rate, often on smaller amounts. - Highest markup: 11.90%
That is a spread of 14.41 percentage points between the lowest and highest observed FX markups.
To put this into perspective, on a SGD 260 transfer, the above markup range is equivalent to roughly THB 37.47 purely from differences in the exchange rate. That incremental saving increases to THB 92.94 for a SGD 645 transfer.
🛠️ How to use this insight: When comparing providers for Singapore to Thailand remittances, pay close attention to the exchange rate you receive. A small difference in the FX markup can quickly outweigh other factors like fees, and the gap generally grows as transfer amounts increase.
SGD to THB exchange rate can be the single most critical factor that determines the cost of your transfer. When comparing providers, keep an eye on the rate you will get.
💰 Transfer fees affect your total Singapore to Thailand remittance cost
Whilst exchange rate is a major factor affecting total transfer cost, the transfer fee can also have a big impact on how much of your Singapore Dollar reaches your recipient in Thailand.
Based on data from last 5 years, we notice the below about Singapore Dollar to Thailand money transfer fees:
- Average fee: SGD 6.92
- Median fee: SGD 6.00
- Lowest fee: SGD 0.00
- Highest fee: SGD 25.00
The average fee amount of SGD 6.92 noted above represents 2.66% of the total amount sent.
Also note that even if two providers provide the same exchange rate, a best vs worst case transfer fee can increase the payout by SGD 25.00.
🛠️ How to use this insight: For your next money transfer from Singapore to Thai Baht, look for providers that provide lower (or even 0) fees.
One caveat to this, though, is something called the hidden fee. Some providers may hide their real fees by offering a 0 or low fee, but providing a lower exchange rate. The money lost due to an inferior FX rate affects your bottom line and is referred to as a hidden fee. Therefore, you should also keep an eye on rates whilst paying attention to fees.
Another point that you should keep in mind is that for larger transfers, fixed fees become a lesser percentage of total amount. But for smaller transfers, fees can be a major part of total cost.
💸 Payment and delivery methods matter for SGD-THB remittances
Based on our detailed analysis of historical Singapore to Thailand data, we see consistent variation in overall cost amongst the payment method and delivery method you choose.

- Debit Card: 4.22%

That is a total spread of 3.55 percentage points.
This means that on a SGD 260 transfer, you could save up to SGD 9.23 simply by choosing the best priced payment method.
These savings will only multiply for higher SGD amounts.
Here is the average cost of popular delivery methods used to send money from Singapore to Thailand:
- Bank Deposit: 4.45%
- Cash Pickup: 5.14%
The cost difference between the above delivery methods is 0.69 percentage points.
Once again, this means that you could save up to SGD 1.80 on a SGD 260 transfer to Thailand by choosing Bank Deposit versus Cash Pickup.
As you can imagine, the possible combinations of Singapore payment methods and Thailand delivery methods will all have disparate cost. Let us look at that next.

The cost of your transfer usually continues to drop as transfer amount increases. That said, always check the latest exchange rates and fees for your intended transfer amount.
🛠️ How to use this insight: Since it is generally cheaper to send higher Singapore Dollar amounts to Thailand, consider consolidating smaller, more frequent transfers into fewer, larger ones. Doing so may reduce the total cost you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions about Singapore to Thailand money transfers
These FAQs use data from RemitFinder's historical analysis of Singapore to Thailand money transfers over several years.
What factors affect the total cost of sending money from Singapore to Thailand?
The total cost of your SGD-THB money transfer depends on how you fund the transaction (payment method), how the recipient receives it (delivery method), the exchange rate you get, and any transfer fee charged by the provider.
To avoid overpaying for your transfer, compare money transfer providers.
How much does the exchange rate affect Singapore to Thailand transfers?
Historical SGD to THB exchange rate markup ranges from -2.51% to 11.90%, a spread of 14.41 percentage points. Even small differences in the exchange rate markup can impact your final payout significantly.
Can SGD-THB exchange rate markup be negative?
Sometimes, money transfer providers may offer promotional exchange rates that are better than the mid-market exchange rate, resulting in a negative SGD-THB exchange rate markup.
Such offers are generally limited by transfer amount, eligibility, or duration. Compare providers to see if you can take advantage of any ongoing special offers.
Is the exchange rate or the transfer fee more important for Singapore to Thailand transfers?
Exchange rate markup ranges from -2.51% to 11.90% (a spread of 14.41 percentage points).
Transfer fees range from SGD 0.00 to SGD 25.00, which equals roughly 9.62% on a SGD 260.00 transfer.
At both SGD 260.00 and SGD 645.00, the exchange rate markup shows larger variation than the other component.
Regardless, our recommendation is that it is important to compare both exchange rates and fees when choosing a provider for Singapore to Thailand transfers.
As the transfer amount increases, the % impact of fees decreases (because the fee gets spread across a larger SGD amount), whilst exchange rate markup remains a percentage-based cost that can scale with transfer size.
For smaller transfers, fees can matter more, whilst for larger transfers, exchange rate often becomes the bigger driver. Either way, comparing both helps you get the most THB for your SGD.
How much can Singapore to Thailand transfer costs vary between providers?
Historical transfer cost ranges from -2.51% to 17.67% for SGD transfers to Thailand. That is a spread of 20.18 percentage points, meaning significant differences between various money transfer providers.
A major contributor to this variation is exchange rate markup. FX markup alone ranges from -2.51% to 11.90% (a spread of 14.41 percentage points). Thus, even small differences in FX margin can have a big impact on the final THB payout.
Why do various money transfer providers price SGD to Thailand transfers differently?
If you send the same Singapore Dollar amount to Thailand via different providers, the cost of each transfer will be different because of variations in FX markup, fees, and payment and delivery methods.
Even small differences among all the above factors can change the final THB payout in Thailand in a big way.
How stable are transfer costs in the Singapore to Thailand corridor?
When we analyzed the historical total cost for SGD-THB transfers, we observed a range from -2.51% to 17.67% (20.18 percentage points difference), along with a variability (standard deviation) of 2.55%.
A major driver of cost in this market is exchange rate markup. FX markup ranges from -2.51% to 11.90% (14.41 percentage points difference), with a standard deviation of 1.48%. Fees and payment/delivery method choices can contribute to further volatility.
This is exactly why we recommend comparing money transfer providers to get the most of your SGD-THB transfers.
