Is there any way to circumvent the 180bt rip off to use a u/k debit card to withdraw cash in Thailand. It really grates me to pay this fee. Its like forcing tourist to pay £3.50 every time or risk carrying cash. I know many who come on holiday and bring £1000's in cash, running the risk of loosing it or being robbed. I can see why though, paying 180 bt here plus there own banks charges. it all add's up. It just appears another way to fleece tourists.

I met my wife outside the Sofitel Hotel 15 yrs ago. I asked and she assisted me to understand atm machine. 'Was very diff then' she has 2 degrees and now works in KFC as a manager in control of European imports and exports. SHE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A BAR

All seems very convenient, I would like to see all evidence passed onto an independent force "who aren't as known for corruption " not that I am at all suggesting Thai police are*****, so that it can all be corroborated. Is that to much to ask???

I am due to stay in Thailand for 4 weeks from 14 Aug, with all this crap going on "if I was Able" I would cancel my flight and never return to Thai again. There is a trend and it's downwards. I have no desire to stay anywhere where I am not wanted. Just a pity I have a non refundable ticket. Will try a change of destination I think.
