TPN processes the payments for all Bangkok Bank cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has that got to do with the OP which is asking about the use of the card outside Thailand? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you plan to return here as its a right farce now? Sandbox or what? I plan to stay abroad until Test and Go returns. Or, if Omicron lingers, I will do the Phuket Sandox. it’s summer in South America, so in 2 or 3 months, it will get chilly in some countries and that will drive my decision. Meanwhile, my PCR test came back negative, so I am off to Copacabana tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayinThailand2much Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Same situation here. I have a 'K Debit Visa Card'. Enquired at the bank, and, answer was, of course: "Can use anywhere..." However, I'd be interested in personal experience of others, who have the same or a similar card, and used it abroad; can I use it to pay for services, or to withdraw at ATMs overseas? (I'm planning to use it in Australia, NZ, Malaysia, and Vietnam.) Edited January 8, 2022 by StayinThailand2much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a serious note, they have a Bangkok Bank ATM on the ISS, and I believe totally Omicron free. If it's a safe haven you're looking for, there's an option for you. Economy class seats will be freakin' expensive but! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lipboy Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Be very, very careful whilst you are in Rio (and anywhere else I guess?). About 10 years ago I spent my last day in Rio (following a 6 week long trip around Antarctica, Chile, Argentina and Brazil) and met a “young” lady who drugged my drink (which knocked me out for a short time) and stole my UK bank debit card.and stole just over £4,000. The following year I played golf (at Black Mountain G..C. near Hua Hin) who had spent many years in Rio and he told me this crime had also occurred to him and was quite a common crime there? Most credit cards have a daily limit or a maximum credit limit so your losses maybe “negligible” (e.g. £4,000) BUT with your card being attached to a Savings Account your losses could be “considerable”?

True story: a company I founded in my house is building a space station for NASA. Yeah, that was a surprise to me, too.

There are international transaction free cards, but most cards; debit or credit as a rule of thumb charge for international use every time you use them. I don't plan to use it a lot, just as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
