Nasrullah Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 National Australia bank will give an exchange rate on a traveller card of 24.547b for 1AUD....So if i put $3850AUD into it i get 94,505 baht. But if i keep my money in my visa/debit card i workout i will need 6 20,000B withdrawls..Does anyone know how much the overseas ATM charge is on a single transaction?....I figure i lose 3,444 baht on the lousy traveller card exchange rate....So even if the charge is $12 per transaction x6=$72.00 i'm still ahead .....I lose roughly 137.00 Dollars on the traveller card deal.... What are they paying on the ground at the moment for cash.....25.10/25.20? for aussie dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisdoc Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Between 24.8 and 25.38 as far as I could find last week in Pattaya . I think 240 baht for an ATM transaction or something close to that. I think NAB hits you too. Not sure what rate NAB gives for O.S ATM ?Sent from my SM-J120G using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterw42 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) OP, 200-220 baht ($8-9) is the local atm charge, travel card or debit card. Debit card, you need to factor in NAB charge for overseas atm, I know Commbank charges $17, presume NAB is similar. One debit card withdrawal is around $25 all up , and during the withdrawal you can choose either the crappy ATM exchange rate or exchange rate back in OZ (same rate as putting Baht on travel card), I think the Oz rate is usually higher , but not great Most ATMs do 30k baht nowadays. Travel card is probably the best option as the same exchange rate but no (NAB) international ATM fee. Nowadays you can use online banking to top-up your travel card on the fly, watch the rate, transfer onto travel card then go and withdraw it, http://www.bangkokbank.com/BangkokBank/WebServices/Rates/Pages/FX_Rates.aspx Edited January 29, 2018 by Peterw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
