Has anyone ever tried to withdraw funds from a Thai bank account from outside of Thailand?

Using an ATM to get funds from abroad never seems to be a problem, but what about going the other way.

I tried it once in Hong Kong and the ATM failed to recognize the account.

Any insight? Thanks.

yes, works in UK and Paris

Yes Bangkok Bank have an international debit card and cashpoint card - You do pay an annual fee for this, but it works (on passbook savings accounts)

I used my SCB cash card at a branch of Lloyds TSB in the UK to see what would happen - to my suprise it worked however was only for £10

We opened a few accounts for this purpose (never know when a card might break).

Siam - able to take out 40.000 baht a day.

Kasikorn - 40.000 baht a day. (Although we asked for 100.000 a day which was not a problem TiT)

Khrungsri - 100.000 baht a day.

what was also difficult is transfering money from Thailand to in my case The Netherlands. I had to show the bills i had to pay with Kasikorn, with Krungsri i had to leave a copy of my passport.

This was for sending a few hundred euros to my grandmother, so no bills. In the end it was not possible with either bank. Solution was i borrowed it from a family member and send the ATM card to The Netherlands so they could take it out there.

Now i am in Austria and use mainly the Krungsri card without problems.

No problem with my Bangkok Bank standard ATM card. No special card or fees.

Have done it in a few countries including UK, turkey, singapore , hong kong.

There is a limit on amount but I think it is just the same as here. Two withdrawals of 20,000 baht a day.

I dont think there was any special registration needed but it was several years ago when I started using it in Turkey. Cant remember for sure. Best ask at your bank.

I used my Bangkok Bank ATM card in China once. No problems at all, but I was charged a 100 baht fee by BKK Bank. Thats been a few years ago, so maybe its "fee free" now

18 months ago, I withdrew $600 (at that time about 22,000 Baht) from my SCB account, using a normal ATM card, at an ATM in the USA. I think about a 20-baht fee, and got a normal exchange rate.

No problems with TMB ATM card withdrawls out of Kindom either.

No problems when I've tried, but I'd question whether you'd be able to so indefinitely at max levels everyday year in/out. (the other way INTO Thailand, the BOT has no issues with that).
