Paypal is fast becoming the preferred way to send money to people overseas. I don't know if it is available in Thailand.
Here is some good news for Paypal users in Thailand. I just found out last night, that you can now withdraw funds to a Thai bank account. So, now you can send money via Paypal to your TGs. This will probably mean lower money transfer charges, and will be good competition for Western Union.

well I wouldnt suggest this unless you really trust the girl but the best way to go is this:
after the tsunami I moved back to the states and applied for the K-1 visa..it took about 7 months total.
I mailed an extra ATM card to my wife and she could take out when she wanted and it cost only bank ATM fee's @ 7 bucks.
now my wife sends her mom/dad/and 2 little brothers the same way...she mailed them a bank of america ATM card and told them to take out $1000 on the 4th of every month. cost to her $7.
just my opinion,

I had been doing wire xfers, and an occasional Western Union, for years, but got fed up with the outrageous costs. Now I do the dual ATM card thing too, much cheaper than wire transfers or Western Union. Have 2 separate no-minimum/no-charge checking accounts with a local bank, one has ATM/charge card priveleges (which I keep), the other is ATM withdrawal only. So I do the same as some of the other bro's here, and each month move the standard amount into the withdrawal-only account. My TGF has that ATM card with her, and is able to get the money with only minor fees. Very easy to track, as this is all I use this bank for. And she feels good about having her own Amerika "A-T-M cahd."
After some research, I found the cheapest local bank (wanted to be able to do local deposits) in the States was Bank of the West (B of A was quite high, by comparison). But I opted for a different bank, as B of the West would give me two ATM cards, but not two accounts, which is simply not an option. The local bank that I use charges marginally more than B of the West, but guarantees the separation of "church and State."

US$1000 as in 38,000 baht? Can I get an ATM card too?

When my Thai girl was still in Thailand this was far and away the best option. I could see online instantly where the money was withdrawn and if she said she was in XXXXX and the withdrawal happened in YYYYYY I would know instantly she was lying. Of course, as you mentioned only a seperate free account with money only on that certain day each month. Not linked to my main account in anyway such as overdraft protection or line of credit.

LS,
exactly correct...my wife was amazed when I asked her "why didnt you tell me you were going to pizanoluk (sp?) to see your mom and dad?"
her.."I want to suprize dad on happy birthday...how you know I go pizanoluk?"
we had not spoken on the phone for about a week and a half and I said "I saw you took $200 out in pitzanoluk..." she thought I had some tracking devise on her 
CG,
Its half her paycheck and yes her family is very proud of it...they have the town market (its about 15 miles from center of pitzanoluk)...you know what I mean selling singha, ice, candy, soap etc and what she sends them is about 5 times what they make with the store.
atl out!
