Virtually every bank has a currency exchange window where you can get USD with your atm/credit card. You will just need your passport to verify your identitiy. Can there be some reason you want to ONLY get the USD from a machine ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can there be some reason you want to ONLY get the USD from a machine ? Not so. I tried to get some US$ yesterday from over half a dozen banks in the Ramkamhaeng area and none would do so, even if they had that buying/selling board for foreign currencies hanging. Gave lame excuses of 'not having any stock of US$ at the moment' and some such (with one branch of Siam Commercial there was even a guy next to me exchanging US$ for Baht yet the bank teller still maintained he's got no US$ ). I did eventuelly find a UOB branch which did it without any hassle. TiT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkom Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Only ATMs that I have seen that allow you to withdraw USD are at SCB ATMs at Suvarnabhumi Airport, I've seen a couple past immigration near the departure gates, I think they also have one near the Thai Airways check-in counters where you exchange money but I could be wrong.

I guess I should have qualified my reply to the Sukhumvit farang area. I have purchased US$ myself on Suk before trips back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bssujith2 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I have seen a couple of them at Suvarnabhumi Airport,past immigration near the departure gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightcrew1 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Only at the airport past immigration, SCB has many all next to their exchange booths. The rates are higher at the machine, but I suppose it's convenient as they don't have any normal ATM's inside after immigration which I have always found odd.

No ATMs in Thaland will give out US Dollars. I even tried this with City Bank cause in Indo I used to withdraw US Dollars from their ATM but in Thailand I was told no way, its against the law.

Lorin Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 You might try the American Express facility in BKK. Are you talking from personal experience? Their Thai website does not mention any financial services/withdrawals except Travellers Cheques and Amex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Highly unlikely you will find an ATM that dispenses USD, outside of perhaps one or two at the airport and the exchange rate costs are likely to be enormous. Ask yourself, how many ATM's in the US dispense Thai Baht or Malaysian Ringit or even British Pounds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all the banks, but still an option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
