Tayida 147 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I owe this friend of mine 1500 bath. I owe them to him and it's a fact. I'm ready to send him the sum at any time, but since he doesn't have a Thai account, I asked him if he could ask someone (perhaps the hotel where he's on vacation, for example the manager) for a bank account. He refuses to do so and only offers me to use wise, a method that is not possible from a Thai account to a foreign account. Now he threatens to go to the police and report me. I certainly don't want to have problems for 1500 thb also because the money is ready to be sent. Does anyone know if there are other ways to send the money to the subject? I state that I am in the North and he is near the border with Malaysia. Thank you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cnx1204 112 Posted January 31 Popular Post Share Posted January 31 1. It is not a criminal issue so the police won't help. 2. IF, REPEAT IF, there is a written contract/loan agreement, then he could pay a lawyer 50,000 baht and go to civil court. 3. If nothing in writing, there is nothing he can do. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to their website and find out for yourself. Not difficult. If you are sending Thai baht from an account denominated in baht, then 99 to 115 baht.

Popular Post 4MyEgo 23795 Posted January 31 Popular Post Share Posted January 31 1) Go to your bank, withdraw the 1,500 baht in 5 baht coins from the teller if you don't have the cash on hand, if you do, change the 1,500 baht into the 5 baht coins, about 300 5 baht coins to be exact. 2) Have a large tin container ready to put the 1,500 baht worth of 5 baht coins in it and close the lid. 3) Go to a courier company or have them pick up the tin container with your friends address on it. I am sure this would be the only time that he didn't like being repaid money that was owed to him, but you shouldn't care, because it is legal tender and you have paid back your debt, that said, for what Western Union would charge you in commission, I am sure the courier charge would be on par. 4 2 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
