Thread: 180baht to make an ATM withdraw

Which is it? 180 baht or 30 baht?

Was 150 B, now gone up by 30 B to 180B

The thieving foreign bastards! getting on for four quid. So with the thieving bastards back home taking their cut if you took 100 quid out you would get about 93 pound odd just for taking your own money out. nationwide charge 2 quid plus one percent now and to think not so long ago it was all 'free'.

Course you can go in the bank and take money out with your card with no charge, right good luck with that one! I transfer six months at a time, still 25 quid.

I have an HSBC premier card which used to be fee free from HSBC and if I went to the now closed HSBC ATM in Sathorn I would get it fee free as well. Now the HSBC money laundering cun&ts are charging me 10pounds per 20 000 baht I take out and I am obviously getting hit with 180baht this end as HSbullshitcun9ts have closed down their ATM and commercial banking operations in Thailand because the Thai's are so patriotic they won't give a thing back to a foreign country. CU7NTS on all levels, CU8NTS, THOUSANDS OF EM

only a fool would use atm transfers for everyday expenses here.

thailand is not short of foreign fools.

the banks know this.

you have only yourself to blame.

I had been using AEON ATMs for withdrawing cash with no charge. Last month, they started charging 150 baht and limiting withdrawals to 20,000 B.

stop whingeing and grab a beer FFS!

Your right, I'm having one of those days. Just dicks me off.

ATMs do cost money to make and to run , and to get filled up , so you must expect a small charge to use them .

They literally are making up for the loss of tourist $ due to the protests, quite literally this is what they are doing.

Surely you are aware that if you go in to the counter and do a credit card cash advance it will cost you nothing on the Thai side...

Personally I just wire funds over as needed. One time fee for the wire transfer is certainly a lot less than hitting up Thai atms day after day...

Really ? I often found it was better than any Thai bank was offering.

I love freebies and besides I don't own a credit card nor will I ever by choice.

This whole thread is about the principle of the dam thing, I couldn't give a toss about 30baht, it is the principle.

I've never used an ATM. Ever.

They apparently now charge Bt153 Per travellers cheque as well.

Cash is king lads.

Travelers bringing foreign currency more than USD 20,000 or its equivalent into or out of Thailand are required to make a report to Customs. This report is required by the “Ministerial Regulation (No. 25) B.E. 2530 issued under the Authority of the Currency Exchange Control Act B.E. 2485 and relevant regulations.

Although I may be wrong, but that would be for the first time ever

Yeah they do in some places, 20baht I think.

In Thailand, there is no fee for domestic same-bank same-province transaction. However, customers usually pay for ATM annual fee of THB200, one-off card fee of THB100 and convenience fee for withdrawal or balance inquiry at other bank ATM or at a province other than the province where the account is opened. On September 23, 2010, Bank of Thailand (BOT) has announced ATM fee ceiling framework which came into full effect one year later.[18] Most of the banks will allow customer to have four withdrawal or balance inquiry transactions for free provided that the ATM is located in the same province with the account, then charges up to THB10 per transaction for interbank same-province ATM usage. Inter-provincial fund transfer or withdrawal fees are capped at THB20 per transaction as a result of BOT 2010 reform. However, Banks are now pushing for high annual fee card by combining personal assurance (PA) into their cards. The annual fee of PA card can be more than three times for the ordinary card (typically THB200 for a debit card). Many customers are often told that basic cards have run out off stock and they can only choose the PA card. In some cases, customers are not allowed to open an account if he or she is not willing to subscribe to ATM service and pay the card fees.
For foreign card, the standard fee is 150 THB. However, there's an exception on the ATMs from AEON (Financial Service company) that will not charge the additional fee on the foreign card.
