robertson468 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I use both my UK Credit and Debit Cards in the Ayudhaya Bank ATMs and they have delivered the cash no problem. Is you card perhaps damaged a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobr Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 The machines may simply be out of money from heavy use on the first of the month by Thais who were paid on Friday. I had the same problem last month at this time and thought something was wrong with my card. Sometimes the machines, especially in the shopping areas run out of 1000 baht bills then the amount you can withdrawal is reduced because some of the machines can only put 20 bills in a single transaction.

petercallen Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Have you left your card on something magnetic or has a magnetic field. This can erase the information on the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PST Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Nope,always stays in my wallet.I withdrew yesterday at 17.08,i'm wondering if i have to wait a full 24 hours before i can draw again. PST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunta71 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 That very well could be if you drew your maximum draw amount less than 24 hours ago or could be the connections sometimes between here and the world are down. Probably work later for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PST Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Sorted,with not really using my UK card that much,i'd forgotten that you can only withdraw once within' a 24 hour period (my bank anyway).30 mins after 17.08,no problems. Panic over,and thanks for all the replies. PST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunta71 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) I won! I won!Thinking back to the first ATM I saw in SE Asia, I have to chuckle. It was inside the bank and only available during banking hours. Kinda misses the point of having one. Edited August 1, 2010 by bunta71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkt83100 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) Have you left your card on something magnetic or has a magnetic field. This can erase the information on the card. Especially if you put the keytag of your hotel in the same pocket, that might be deadly for your card, since some of these have really strong magnets inside. You can check that, just hold the keytag next to some iron stuff.Edit: Yes, now I read the solution to the problem. It was on the next page...
