I would like to help out my relatives in Laos.  I am sure alot of people have done it in the past.  How to? What is involved? Will the total amount of funding be fully put into my relative's hand? Is there a tax invovled by the Lao PDR?

Very easy just go to Walmart, Cub food where they has money gram. You can ask the customer service tell them you want to send money to other country. Fill out form who will receive, what provinces? and your infor. It cost me $10 to send 4,200,000 kip = $600 couple day ago. There is a number on the receipt. Call you relative in Laos, and give them that number on the receipt, they can pick up the money in any provinces in Laos, at any bank in 10 minnute after you send the money.

You can also deposit money into someone's Lao bank account over the internet. The bank in your country and Laos will charge a fee though, so not recommended.

No money gram easier. Just need receiver- person you send money to, name, phone, address, what city in Laos, your infor of course and that it. Just ask customer services when you at Walmart or bank.

Western Union is how my parents transfer their funds back home. They never have any problems.
