Thai Atm Card In Europe?

[smaturins]

I am assured by Bangkok Bank that I can use my ATM card in Italy to withdraw Euros at a good exchange rate. The card is a Be1st Visa which I've used to buy air tickets and fund PayPal. Neither my BKK nor my SCB cards worked in the US. Anyone have any info? Thanks.

no Thai ATM card worked in Italy. I asked again to KSK bank they said ATM work but i think NO.

I have a Be1st Bangkok Bank Visa card, and I have used it to withdraw money in Germany and the US, no problems.

I have used my Kasikornbank atm card in the UK and France, no problems, have also used it throughout SE Asia and Australia.

I think Thai banks offer domestic and international cards, that's what my bank told me. Have had no problems using a Thai card in UK-but have had problems using it at my own Bank in Bkk!

Before going to Malaysia, I had to exchange my Katsikorn ATM card for a different one which can be used abroad. In Malaysia I could indeed use it, but not at all ATM's.

I never had problems with any Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn, and SCB debit card in the US, UK, or Japan.

Getting a "good" exchange rate is highly subjective. "Good" could mean anywhere from 1-3% off the Interbank Rate. In my experience, I wouldn't withdrawal large amounts of foreign currency using an ATM while outside of Thailand using a Thai ATM card. Remember you will also get hit with the 100 baht fee as well.
