Popular Post webfact Posted May 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2022 Picture: Siam Rath Locals helped Siam Rath with some handy pointing at a Krung Thai ATM that was smashed up in Rayong, eastern Thailand. Lest there be any doubt which one it was! Attached to the front of the machine on Ratbamrung Road was a photocopied piece of paper that added to the bathos. It read: "Out of Order waiting For Repair". You don't say! Muang district police got a 191 call at 3 am yesterday to report the severe damage.

Plastic parts were smashed though the screen was intact. A local shop owner called Kertkrit, 33, said the ATM had been damaged two months ago and the bank attached the sign but were dallying in their repairs. Many locals wanted to use the machine but were disappointed, the reason he thought someone took it out on the ATM when they couldn't get late night cash. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-05-17 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Grusa Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Having spent two days (ok yesterday was a bank holiday, my bad) trying to top up my m-pass, I can understand trashing KTB property. Why can't I do it direct from my SCB app, or by QR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawadee1947 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Usual Thai behaviour when getting angry???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Came across that situation countless times. ATM out of order, out of cash, out of paper, out of everything. In Europe, they have had drive-through ATMs for the last 50 years with a red lamp indicating, if the machine was not operative. How frustrating is it when you park the car (best even in a shopping centre with an open bank counter of the very same bank) and the frigging machine is not working. You then troll back five minutes to your car, drive on to the next one and ZANG, the next broken machine. If you withdraw anything below a certain limit, then you can resort to a competitor's machine though - against a fee ............ medieval, to say the least! Customer comes last; as always!

I did not mention ATM. I really ask you to read my post carefully, even it's obviously a big problem for you. Nevertheless I will not reply again. It's a bit too childish.

Oh I see, you were just having an irrational off topic racist rant about imagined behavior from Thais and nothing to do with the topic of this thread . Anyway, Thais do not attack ATM's more that any other Nationality 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
