What are the top methods for sending money person-to-person in Thailand without a local bank account?
What are the best ways to send money person to person in Thailand? If the sender and recipient do not have a Thai bank account. However, the sending has a Wise account.
Answer summary
There are several effective methods to send money person-to-person in Thailand, particularly for those without a Thai bank account. Options discussed include Western Union and MoneyGram, where recipients can collect cash at designated locations with valid identification. If the sender has a Wise account, money can be sent directly to someone with a bank account, or alternatively, cash can be sent through third parties like XE or directly in cash if the recipient lacks any bank account.

WU or Moneygram if the recipient doesnt have a bank account. Moneygram does the better deal.

Moneygram 10 minute pickup. They can go to most Siam banks and collect. How I send cash to the wife.

I use XE I pay by card and the recipient can collect cash with id

You’re welcome I have all 3 apps and whilst XE is a little less on the exchanges it is by far the easiest to use. I have had issues with both MoneyGram and wise not accepting the transfer. Technical issues.

You are all assuming that she is Thai.
If she doesn’t have a bank account she must still have an account in some country to link to a Wise account .

All Thai bar girls have a bank account. But something is fishy that she tells you she doesn't have a bank account. Make sure you are the only farang she is seeing right now before you send her any money.

If the receiver has a Thai bank account just add them from the senders wise account and send it’s done easy

@Phil *******
as long as they have a Thai bank account they’ll be able to receive money from abroad by the Swift code system

I think you can use Western Union, send the money to a specific office and the recipient picks it up after showing suitable ID
Brandon ************
How would we know? We don't know what the receiver has. If they don't have a Thai bank account then where are you sending the money?

WU and Moneygram dont require the recipient to have a bank account.Activity
