Any insights appreciated. No, not possible. Bank of Thailand regulations stipulate that the identity of the person sending the money is registered along with the reason for the transfer. Even for tiny transfers at for example Western Union, the standard BoT form has to be filled out along with a copy of your passport. Also for receiving funds. Because of this BoT regulation, the secret question option at Western Union is not available in Thailand. |

The person in question will be there in a week or so... Thanks |

No idea on banking regulations in Cambodia...
Although I am curious it's as to why his anonymity is so important! As he can travel to Cambodia he must be in possession of his identity papesr! |

Further, depending on the situation, there are ways to pay someone with a non registered Paypal account, a skype account, topping up his/her (non-registered?) phone, 2 debitcards for one account registered in the country where you deposit the cash in his/her, or your own name, sharing online banking etc. Of course these transactions only provide a certain amount of privacy and are not 1000% proof, but I assume you are not part of a terrorist- or drug/weapons network. |

Because of this BoT regulation, the secret question option at Western Union is not available in Thailand. I send on a monthly basis 5000 baht to someone in the Phillipines via Western Union. I go to the post office, complete the "send money" form, present my Thai driving license, pay the money plus fee (5475 baht), and it is done. Nowhere on the form I have to give a reason for the transfer. I have no idea if the secret question is available, I send to someone with an ID-card. I am also given the amount of peso that will be paid out to the receiver, and that amount is always available. This post has been edited by hansnl: 2009-07-01 18:13:18 |
