Withdraw From Atm In Europe With Thai Card

[rono]

I am going to Europe for a few weeks, I have saving accounts with kasikorn and scb.

Can I use my debit card from those thai banks to withdraw from european atm's?

Or I am better off making an exchange in the airport? Local banks refuse to give me euros without me showing a plane ticket.

Used both SCB and K-bank cards in Europe without problem in the past

yes, but what about the fees they charge??

Just curious why the local banks would not want to sell Euros to you.  Did they say why?<br>

I think he mentioned that they want to see a plane ticket.

But I have had absolutely no problem in getting GBP's, USD's, EUR's, SGD's and AUD's from my local banks over the last few years. Sometimes have to wait a few days though. They ask why and I just say I'm travelling around, they have never wanted to see proof.

I have had no problem using my Kasikorn atm to withdraw cash and make purchases in the UK and mainland Europe, not sure about the fees but I remember thinking at the time they were reasonable..

I have always got Euros, GB Pounds and US Dollars on demand at Suvarnabhumi, not sure what the air ticket requirement was, suspect is was a rule made up on the hoof.

I can get VN dong at many ATMs in Hanoi using my Kasikorn K-MAX Debit Card...
