Need to get 2000b to a thai friend in Khon kaen ,western union etc add £12 ! paypals great but isnt a option.

I have some English mates in Samui [I'll be joining up with soon] couldnt I just get my TGs account number and sort code[thai?] and just get him to send her the cash? then pay him when I arrive,no 3rd party?

Alternatively shall I tell her to go fcuk herself?

Only joking ...

Do a wire transfer, the fee depends on your bank. The most easy way. Western Union have very bad exchange rates and it cost you more than you think.

Another thought,if I do a wire transfer or I my friend transfers fund what do I need?

Surely I need her name in thai? that sounds difficult.

For only 2000thb, why not tell your friend to go to KK, pay her the 2000thb, and fcuk her for you?

(you can pay him back, when you arrive)

Then, everybody's happy!

Seriously Pablo you do it everytime!!

2,000 baht is about £30. Most banks charge a transfer rate and of course the exchange rate in the UK is much worse than in Thailand. For this small amount of money I would be tempted to send a £20 and a £10 note with a card.

Do not send money in the post usually.. but in this case even if you lose it the thought was there...

Its sorted now,I just sent some buffalo medicine,a midwife for her phantom pregnancy&some pills for her Grandmother's ailment.

I'm surprised that nice thai guy,[her cousin I think] doesnt help with all this stuff,he seems to have lots of new things
