Absolute cheapest would be Bitcoin, but more complicated than most want to deal with.

Via traditional means, Bank transfer via SWIFT. You probably just need his bank's SWIFT code, his name as listed on the account and the account number. Some banks (used to) require destination bank branch address and phone number?

Coming the other way usually costs between $15 and 30 USD, flat fee not a percentage. Not sure about going the other way, but bound to be less than Western Union or Paypal.

Where is the $4,000 (USD) now?

OK, get your friend's bank details: Bank Name, SWIFT code, Branch Number, street address, your friend's full name and account number, go to your Kasikorn branch/International Remittance Desk, and initiate an international wire transfer.

great, that would help. hope that I won't be asked for reason of transfer so some other paperwork to do so.
