Last time I used a foreigen debit card in Thailand, I seem to remember being charged 180 baht.  What is the current rate? Are there any banks that don't charge?

220 baht, you've missed the boat to open a thai bank account to save money

I've had a Thai bank account for over 10 years - I have my reasons for asking the question.

Go on then, tell us all the reasons so we do not make the same mistake as you did.

Aeon ATMs are still charging 150 baht. There used to be 3 in Pattaya, now there's only one at Lotus's North Pattaya Mall. Unless you live nearby, it's not worth travelling there to save 70 baht.

All charge so use Krungsri for larger withdrawal

AEON 150 Baht but limited to 20000 Baht makes 0.75%.

OK, it was a simple, honest question, so your reasons remain unknown, to both A Now and the Spanish.

it is not as simple as that as there are limits for withdrawals imposed by home banks and many will not allow a 30k withdrawal.

I withdraw at the counter but make sure that it's well over B30,000. so that they can't redirect me to the ATM. No fees from the bank or my card provider back home and the standard decent MasterCard ForEx rate.

 

It does show as a financial transaction on my statement but is not subject to a daily cash limit, just my overall credit limit.

Sorry, can't help myself...

 

"No one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition."

 

"Last time I used a foreigen debit card in Thailand"

As has been said Charles Schwab reimburses all fees charged when using their debit card.

Total charges are added up and reimbursed once a month.

Oops, that's off topic.

Staying off topic - this was one of the best.
