MangoKorat Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JensenZ Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wanderer555 Posted October 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2023 It is my understanding all Thai banks charge the ATM fee. Some foreign institutions, such as Charles Schwab will reimburse you for any ATM fees. I have also read you can do a counter-withdrawal inside the bank but have no direct experience with that. cheers 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Lowf Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) 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.

"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.
