Send $ fron US to the Land of Wonder

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

What's the cheapest way to send $250? My friend has an account at Acleda Bank, if that helps.

International bank transfer? Even with the fees probably cheaper than WU.

Actually Western Union to Cambodia, if you go via their online service and not from a physical location, is very good value. For me it worked out cheaper than PayPal plus ATM fees, Forex Transfer services, etc. particularly on small sums of money like $250. It also has the pleasant advantage of immediacy... money goes in, 10 minutes later it's in your pocket.

What's the cost of insured mail from the US? It'd take a few weeks, but the cost should be hard to beat.

I doubt you'll find any insured service which lets you send cash.
