MaiDong Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Was she just lucky?(me, unlucky) or has policy changed? She used Krung Thai bank & my Halifax Visa debit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonititan Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I have a Bangkok Bank account, but for any ATM I've used in Bangkok, the limit has been 20,000 - sometimes restricted to 20 individual bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiDong Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 I used my Halifax UK bank account ATM card, that's why I'm confused that a B12,400 international withdrawal was allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withnail Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 If she's using a UK credit card then the limit is the UK limit which is most likely 250 pounds so 12 000 is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaiDong Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 What limit are you talking about? The B10,000 foreign bank account withdrawal limit that I've been subject to for a couple of years now, and so have many others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I haven't been able to withdraw any more than B10,000 for at least 18 months or so, despite having more than that in my account...

I can pull 20k per day from my Aussie cards without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withnail Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Well the rate has changed slightly so if you've been trying to get out 12000 and that's been slighly off then maybe you could have taken out 11800 but only tried the next obvious one down which was 10000. I know I've used a UK card recently and what I tried was 15, 14, 13, 12 until it allowed the transaction. I don't know personally what the Halifax limit is but I'm guessing it's 250. It could be something different. I know with my Thai ATM card I can take out 20 000 at a time and up to 200 000 a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bank limit hasn't changed, perhaps it was what withnail suggested, I've always tried to get out the maximum possible though, even if it was an extra B100, seems nobody else shares my experience though!

thaihome Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Been said many times, the only limit a Thai ATM puts on a transaction with a foreign card is how many bills it will dispense at one time. Otherwise any limits are due to your foreign bank. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Correct Most Thai ATM's have a 20,000 THB per transaction limit Bangkok Bank ATM has a 25,000 THB per transaction limit Aeon has a 40,000 THB per transaction limit ( I think, since I have only been limited by my US Bank ($1,000 per day limit) in conjunction with the dollar / Baht rate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianguygil Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) There are several items to consider here: The first is the number of bills the ATM machine can dispense. Most of our ATMs are 20 bills, but some as Langsuan man said are 25 The next is the largest currency demonination available in the ATM. Most of the time this is 1,000 Baht bills so on a 20 bill ATM it would be 20,000, but at busy times this may be 500 Baht or even 100 Baht bills, until we come to fill the ATM up. So you may end up with only 10,000 THB (20 x 500) or even in some case 2,000 (20 x 100) The next as stated is the limit set by your ATM issuer. In the West this tends to be quite low as the cash usage is limited. This is a per day and per transaction limit. With Bangkok Bank ATM cards it can be up to 500,000 THB per day The next is the exchange rate which will determine the amount of THB per withdrawal (combined with the per transaction limit) And the last is the amount of money that you have in your account :jap: Enjoy!!
