Here's what I did yesterday when I picked up my new Bangkok Bank Be1st Mastercard. I retained the original PIN and added '00'. I won't forget that.

By the way ... do you live in Thailand? No different when it comes to PINs otherwise fraudsters could keep trying indefinitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you live in Thailand? Interested to learn more about your "Credit Card" ... you got that from a Thai bank? And no, I don't mean the "Enhanced Debit" card that allows you to use it LIKE a credit card to book flights, etc .. but still requires a current balance to cover any purchase IE: That is NOT a credit card. It is a fee based Enhanced Debit card. So please, tell me more about your Thai Bank based "Credit Card" ... Always willing to learn something new .. so looking forward to your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By Krungsri cards? ... "no worries, just authorized." Not good! So, Krugsri became the "Mother Ship" account, and I just keep 30 - 50K on the Bangkok bank card and carry that only.

Thanks. before this thread gets locked, interested parties may be interested in this post There have been others here that have posted success getting secured credit cards. The story is similar (get some kind of fixed deposit/CD type of product; and use that as collateral). So many married/retirees and such that have 400k/800k in a fixed deposit acct and don't touch it could potentially re-purpose it as CC collateral. An UNsecured card for a foreigner takes a lot more work (you need a regular job with work permit). And the limit was like 30-50k baht or something similar. I will try to find that thread. Edit: found it. They appeared to talk of credit cards and even lines of credit (unsecured) vs enhanced debit cards. Interesting read. The CC limit was pretty low, but it proves that a foreigner was able to get one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Never had a problem with my Kasikorn debit card abroad. I have used it in Norway, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. Just make sure to ask the bank to open it for withdrawals outside of Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
