FritsSikkink Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 If you have money, you will have a great time. When you are just in survival mode, you might not like it. Some people marry bar girls half their age and expect real love. Others can't speak the language after being here 30 years and find it strange that they don't fit in. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riclag Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) If rejected I have to pay the atm fee (200+ bht). I think its reasonable to ask what would happen if i tried to withdraw 30k while my USA bank allows only 1k especially with the exchange rate borderline 3/1 and is changing by the day Edited November 4, 2019 by riclag 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't make any sense at all. If declined, go for 29500 or 29,900. Don't make drama. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with the cards which i used in the past i didn't get charged an ATM fee if i didn't get money out of it. But you should be aware that your card might be blocked (i had this happen with a visa card), if withdrawing fails three times for whatever reason, even if it's just due to a not sufficient limit. So if withdrawing 30k fails just go for 29k (instead of trying steps like 29.9k, 29.8k...). I then had to contact my bank to have my card unblocked.

KhunBENQ Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Basically all said. 500 Baht denomination works for sure (29500). Maybe also 100, never tried. Edited November 5, 2019 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(TT about 30.05 today) My bet: you won't get 30k Baht with a 1k USD limit today. (even if your bank reimburses the 220 Baht, it will still be added at the transaction).

KhunBENQ Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Assuming an exchange rate of 30.05 the limit would be 29830 (-> 29800). (x+220)/30.05=1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As whilst they show the fee to you on the receipt separately, your card issuer still is presented with a total figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post emptypockets Posted November 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2019 Geez, pull out 20k and then 10k. If you don't get the 10k then you have your answer. You still have 20k to play with. Where's the drama? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bank in the USA seems to think I took out 30220 baht; every time. November 3rd I withdrew the 30,000 + 220 = $1004.69 My limit is also $1000 per day. Guess the bank has some flexibility? I don't know. The 30,000 + 220 prior to that was mid October and amounted to $1000.46 Edited November 6, 2019 by IAMHERE enter my last ATM experience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously doubt you will be charged 200 Baht for an incomplete transaction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
