How can I access money in Thailand after losing my bank card and facing visa issues?

@Karim **************

interesting to know. Good thing I dont need to

@Davy ******

just out of curiosity, you mean to transfer money to another person that you trust? Then they will give you the money. I don't need to do it, just want to understand what you mean. I use wise for transfers already but I usually just change cash when I arrive Bangkok.

@Trash ******

fair enough….I didn’t see the pics…..I live in bkk 6 months a year and there are more WesternUnions than there are ladyboys in Nana plaza, even outside of the city…that’s what doesn’t make any sense.

I never had a problem. I have had it happen twice, went in with the wife and recovered it.

@Karim **************

He lost it like 20 days ago

@Garrett **********

okay. My mistake then

@Chris *********

Best of luck!! I have not used it, but my daughter has. I hope it works for you!

@Chris *********

you have many around you.

I have absolutely no idea how you came up with that remark as "racist". Do you always see things as racist if that person's colour is different from yours? What if that person had been Black also....or Thai, or Indian......Would you have responded the same? Or is that just an automatic defensive mechanism....and does it work for you?

You should just grow up!

If a White person had made that same remark he or she would have gotten the same responses! Truth be told....no one looks at the photos of those who write here....I still have not looked at yours but just took a cursory look at your name above when I came across your remark! Your last name seems to be of African origin (but I could be wrong). But with Chris in front (also the name of my brother) I would make a wild guess and say that you are Nigerian....but I am likely wrong.

Here is the thing...Most expats that I know have left the West to get away from the stress and chaos there...including every conceivable thing being labelled as racist. Please do bring it here....leave it at home. Do not destroy paradise! No one here cares about the colour of your skin and the Thais will have little patience with it!

haha

I had one sent from America. I tracked it to BKK. It got to BKK in 9 days. It took 23 days from BKK to Pattaya. So there’s still a chance.

Western unions in Thailand: With over 6,100 locations in Thailand, it's easy to find one nearby. From Google lol

@Shaun ********

oh yes sorry I just read again

@Chris *********

Where are you staying? Under a rock? Western Union all over Bangkok.

@Chris *********

i had same problem recently in Indonesia according to google maps and western union there were 10 in the town. After searching there was only actually 3 a lot of the ones closed down were money exchange places which closed during covid and never re-opened. The ones that were open were part of banks.

But i saw one open near sala daeng bts few months ago near patpong

I think very haha

@Chris *********

revolute will dhl a card worldwide, got mine in 2 days. Also, there are western unions all over the place

@Chris *********

if you download wise you can install ' tap and pay' on Google play . Then you can make contactless payments and I think I have seen contactless signs on ATM s .

You can also send money for collection at outlets like ,I am not sure if that is available in Thailand but worth checking , it is in other countries .

@Chris *********

there's a Western Union branch in CentralWorld, can't remember which floor but I think 4th or 5th. There's also one inside the post office by BTS Phra Khanong.

@Chris *********

ring them up first
