emstee22 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I am working in Vietnam but coming to Thailand on Tuesday. I get paid right before my flight and will not have enough time to western union my money home in Vietnam, and would like to do it in Bangkok. I will be on a tourist visa and was wondering if that would be a problem? I know in vietnam, you need have a work visa, have proof of where you got the money from and that you paid taxes but I was wondering if that would be the same in Thailand? Im going to be travelling for 2 months and do not want to carry around that much cash on hand. Thanks in advance for any advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcharacters Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 there's a Western Union just around the corner from Nana plaza on Sukumvit (sp?) that sent $ for me on a tourist visa without grief. turn right toward soi 7 and it's about 100 yards down street on Sukumvit. Same side of street as Nana plaza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanyaburi Mac Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 If there's a delay, suggest you see about opening up a bank account here. Foreign Currency account, I presume. Might be handy in the future, too. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolbreez Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 As long as you are under $10,000US there won't be a problem. You just need passport, and the cash. There are Western Unions all over Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
