US embassy is also an option. 

Advice only. 

 

Put it this way, your chosen embassy isn't about to pay for disaffected citizens to travel business class for the return flight.

Sorry for the woman if the story is true.

It's years since I've had 20 Baht in my wallet, matter of fact, I don't even know where my wallet is living, we parted company years ago.

I have no cash in my wallet at all haven't had for years

I'm a lowly teacher who's never been left with much cash in the bank. But I've ensured there was always enough credit on my Visa to at least book a flight out. $750 got me to Osaka, then Los Angeles, then Idaho. Oh, then you'll need some Ubers too, to get you home, your new employer, and arranging your new driver's license, if you've been gone awhile like I have. They're now 15 bucks each way around town. Ouch.

 

See the white card in my avatar? If this American lady is really low income, and goes back to a kindly Midwestern state, and hasn't previously abused the welfare system, while waiting for the new job to begin she could get one with about $250 on it to buy food. God Bless 'Murica.

..the $10k was the money the sister supposedly transferred. It would have been cheaper to just buy her a ticket 

Exactly, my thought

$10,000 for what?, first class on Emirates? I'm pretty sure I have money in my wallet. I'll have to ask the wife when she gets home to let me have a look. As she says "My money is money and your money is our money". Gotta love her.
