Title: Sending money to Laos from Canada/US
Post by: popbottlepirate on October 06, 2017, 09:21:23 AM
hey!

My mother-in-law needs to send money back to relatives in Laos. Probably $3-5k Canadian. We can send from either Canada or US. I know you can use something like Western Union but I assume the fees are expensive. Does anyone have other ideas that might be cheaper?

Thanks!

We've always gone the "Here's $1000, tell your mom to give my mom the money" route, but we've got well-heeled and trustworthy relatives in both countries.

Posting to follow, though.
