Post by: TBWG on April 10, 2009, 02:50:49 PM

Hi Bums

I am lead to believe that with effect from 17/04 if you use any overseas card in an ATM there will be a Baht 150 fee for each transaction confused4

Someone please tell me I am wrong?

Regrettably, you are not wrong.

Here is reference point:-

https://www.thanachartbank.co.th/CDS/THANACHART/NBank_En/pdf/feeatm032009_en.pdf

QAn average 10,000 baht ATM withdrawal, even with the best UK card - Nationwide -, will soon cost 2.5%. 150 Baht by ATM provider and 1% by card provider passing on the VISA transaction charge. God forbid you dare to use a credit card !!!!
