Just been able to send money by Western Union doing a direct bank transfer from a UK account to a Thai account , and not using the kiosks at either end .
Last time I used the kiosks an got 8,900 Baht for 250 Quid
This time I got 10 300 Baht for 250 Quid .
1400 Baht to use the kiosks .
Bank to bank was very easy , just need a name , bank name and bank account number and it took a few hours
