Transferring US$ from Cambodia to Laos

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.

Transferring US$ from Cambodia to Laos

Post by STEVITO »

Does anyone have experience of sending US$ from Cambodia to Laos?
I could do an international bank transfer but covering all fees would be $45-65.
Would a Wise account help (never used so not sure if it even works from Cambodia and what is required)?
Or is there a better way not to lose too much in bank fees?

found out, wise does not operate in Cambodia =so swift or expensive Western union
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Thanks. Would be good if there is another option....Swift might make sense for larger payments but I need to send $3-4K.
I forget the cheapest way to send Cambodia to Thailand, but there is a way to do it by paying a money supplier based at the border who has an office on both sides. If the same existed for Cambodia to Laos that would be ideal...
