wym Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Go to another WU vendor, maybe the post office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermondburi Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Why not just do a bank transfer? Sent from my HUAWEI P6-U06 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wym Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Maybe the need to have bank accounts on both ends? Also takes several days to clear, probably more to India. Edited February 12, 2014 by wym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satcommlee Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Western Union is a US company that can dream up all sorts of restrictions to suit America's Foreign Policy! There are alternatives ie: moneygram.. But Maybe just trying another agent on a different day may get you the result you want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaldwin Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Check the Thailand website for Western Union. It is adverting special promotional rate for 8 countries including India. I do not believe that it is true that WU transfers from Thailand to India are not possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wym Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 As long as their receiving location and name, in their passport or other acceptable ID matches the recipient info AND they can quote the sender's name and sending location, they should be able to claim the funds without the tracking number. If not, simple enough for the sender to get the proper tracking number from the WU paperwork and send it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
