I got my Kasikorn VISA Debit card replaced at another small branch in a different province. Took about a week. Hope this helps.

Edit: Yes, there's my name on it.

I cannot comment on the lost card scenario, but when we moved to another province my wife and I both had seperate SCB accounts with debit cards and she advised me we should make a new account in the province we moved to since there is an ATM charge on each transaction if using the SCB card from another province,,, I thought this BS but I did take her advice. but whether its correct or not i'm not sure.

Hehe. I love it. Sneaky and lurking processes and fees. I guess the USA banks aren't the only ones that like things like that. Province to province differences. Local regulation or graft?

This is correct, I pay 15฿ for each withdrawal at my own bank in a different province. Since it's 20฿ to user other ATMs I am not bothered about where I withdraw. You can change your branch though.

In any case, you get charged for depositing at ADMs (something like 12฿ in the same province and 27฿ in different provinces).

I have had my Visa Debit card that was issued in Bangkok replaced at a branch in Pattaya, to replace my Visa Credit card I need to go back to the issuing branch though.
