Good to know it's free to transfer via ATM. <br /><br />I just checked out the moneygram.com calculator. <br /> <br />Country Sending From : UNITED STATES<br />Country Sending To : CAMBODIA<br />Service : 10 Minute Service<br />Send Amount : 89.00 US DOLLAR<br />Fee Amount : 11.00 US DOLLAR<br />Total Amount : 100.00 US DOLLAR<br />Receive Amount : 89.00 US DOLLAR<br /><br />An 11% fee is hugely expensive.

Many oversea Cambodian worker using this. <br /><br />100$ USD Sender pays $12 USD. and receiver get money without fee within 30 minutes. <br /><br />Receiver needs only secret 8 digit codes from Sender. <br /><br />And deposit to other area account, some bank they doesn't charge if customer transfer using ATM Card. For example Canadia Bank ATM Card holder can transfer 1,000$ per day to other account holder without fee.시엠립 정보https://www.blogger.com/profile/04750511878378189468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34932518.post-73791250185177243872010-04-26T23:26:31.039+07:002010-04-26T23:26:31.039+07:00Thanks for this cloudfreesky.

They doubled the fee - it used to be US$2 a couple of years ago. I am not sure if all the banks here conspire to do it but won't be surprised if they do. <br /><br />I also know what you mean about money corrupting a people. In fact I wrote about my own experience in Cambodia and how it's making me want to leave the place...<br /><br />http://cambodiacalling.blogspot.com/2010/04/corruption-of-cambodia.html<br /><br />PS: good luck with your pilgrimage to Brazil!Diana Sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14446054467095216782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34932518.post-49778547129410242972010-04-26T12:43:37.625+07:002010-04-26T12:43:37.625+07:00It is indeed outrageous.

All of the ATMs there are now charging a fee of 150 THB (nearly $5 USD)! The banks must have gotten together and decided to all engage in this evil practice, I have not been able to find any exceptions. I first encountered this when I was there in October 2009, before that there was never any such fee and now it is ubiquitous. One more straw that makes me increasingly disgusted with Thailand - a place which seems less and less Buddhist and more and more materialistic.cloudfreeskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01999733652268911285noreply@blogger.com
