    The daily limit is set by your account, not by the ATM itself. 

    The ATMs here can, I believe, dispense 20,000 bills at one time. If your limit is higher, you can withdraw however many times it takes to get what you need (per day). I believe you can raise your daily withdraw limit over the phone. 

     

    On a side note, I have to agree, it's a bit of a nuisance to only be able to spend 200,000 baht a day here. 

     

    The real nuisance is having to do it 20 times a day, every day. I barely have time left to spend it.

    And as an indicator of the current stupid state of the media and activist liberal journalists posting misleading pictures trying to crap on the parade, Snopes actually did a “fact-check” on the pictures. 

     

    Fact check - True. It was packed even through the rain.

    Thanks. Guess I was wrong. I trust Snopes. I’ve even donated to them. Their responses are thorough and documented and supported. I guess Trump just lies soo often and cavalierly that my default position is to distrust him. In this instance, turns out he was telling the truth about the attendance. The reason crowd sizes is an issue, is because he made it so. It matters to him, and he tends to exaggerate attendance at his rallies, as he did with his inauguration.

     

    In any case, my main point was about him using the parade to make a campaign ad.

    Japan can assemble a nuke in fifteen minutes...They probably have it already anyway.

    These agreements are all useless. The deterrent doesn't change. We don't need troops to repel the Chinese. It would be nuclear war if they attack Japan.

    North Korea is a Nuclear Power. Us accepting it or not can't change anything at this point. The key is to keep them as small and regional of a nuclear power and possible and even more importantly, end the underlining conflict between them and South Korea. Once we end the Korean War, and NK agrees to limit its nuclear deterrent to some reasonable level, we will have won and there will be no more need for sanctions. We are closer to the realization of that dream than at any point in history right now. 

    The dream we are closer to, is NK’s dream of being a nuclear power, Kim’s prominence on the world stage, cessation of joint US/SK/Japan military exercises, easing of pressure on trade with China, and zero admonishment for testing short range missiles that could hit Japan & SK thus potentially causing a rift between US & their major Asian allies. All this in two years of the Trump presidency. Just imagine how much more of NK’s dream could come true in another two years!
