I'm thinking of getting a Thai debit or credit card for making small payments to the UK 

 

If I pay say about 5 pounds using the Thai card will I just be charged an exchange rate or is there a transaction charge as well

Ask your card provider ?

I have made lots of foreign payments using a KBank credit card and never seen any transaction charge.

Me neither. Using Bangkok Bank Credit Card (not debit) or Amex Thai, never seen any transaction charge

There is no transaction charge, but there is a 2% or 3% added in the exchange rate. If you do the math (divide the THB that you have been charged into the respective foreign currency), you will get a rate that is quite a bit above the Banknote Sell Rate (I think 40-50 satang more).

 

This is for Kasikorn.

I use my Thai debit card in Thailand and when I go to the UK I use the same card but don't get any charge but my son in Thailand has a mastercard from a UK based bank and he gets charged £4-£5 per transaction out of his pocket money. I did use a UK debit card at an ATM when we visited BKK and I got charged 400 B by the Thai ATM provider, a bad exchange rate from my own bank and an overseas charge of £1 [emoji15] but I installed the Apps and made payments and never got any charges at all, it's a mine field !!!
