Paypal* is the e-commerce payment system for online auction monolith Ebay. ItтАЩs designed to facilitate auction payments, but as a by-product can facilitate cheap, overseas money transfers.
To use it, both you and the recipient of the cash need an e-mail address (you can just set up a free internet e-mail address from Gmail or Hotmail) and a free Paypal account.
You simply pay money into your account via credit card or bank account and send it via Paypal. Your friend can then choose to have the money paid into their bank account, taking three to nine days (depending on country), or keep it with Paypal to spend on the internet, which can be done instantly.
"Paypal operates in 45 countries around the world. While recipients in most North American, Western European and Australasian countries can withdraw money in to their bank accounts, there are some countries which prohibit this, so do check before starting the process (see the full list).

The Charges. Both paying money in and sending overseas is free. However, the recipient is charged when they get their money. The amount varies slightly country to country, but most are a similar scale of charges to UK recipients, which is 20p plus 3.9% of the value, e.g. on ┬г30 that's ┬г1.40.
In some countries thereтАЩs also a fee for withdrawing cash to a bank account, yet again it's tiny e.g. the UK fee is only charged for those withdrawing less than ┬г50 and even then itтАЩs only 25p.
*
The Exchange Rate. Paypal exchange rates are similar to that of high street credit cards when used abroad, and slightly better than bureaux de change rates; overall not too bad. The only currencies Paypal works in are Pounds, Canadian, US and Australian Dollars, Euros and Yen."
I wonder if it works to Thailand?
