Western Union can transfer into a bank account.

In fact you get a better exchange rate.

No. They have an option on their website to deposit into bank account directly. The only issue is that they have a $ limit per day.

Western Union can send to bank account in Thailand. Western Union cannot send to bank account in Cambodia. You could send from a Western Union office in Cambodia to a bank in Thailand. Maybe?

Richard, I just looked at CAB website. If you go inside and fill out a Western Union form it says that you can send money to a bank account.

Doing it that way may be expensive. Using Wise will probably be cheaper.

How about opening a bank account with a proper bank that CAN do an outbound SWIFT transfer?

I'm a bit surprised that CAB cannot do that, apparently. Are you sure they didn't just misunderstand you?
