iuytrede Posted January 15, 2002 Report Share Posted January 15, 2002 @Andrew are you talking about Siam City Bank (pinkish) or Siam Commercial Bank (red)? And which kind of ATMcard do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 26, 2002 Report Share Posted January 26, 2002 I use Siam City Bank - I dunno about the interest I get on my money as I only use the account as a "transit point!" when in Thailand, so it is not important to me. The main reason I use them is they have a small branch (not just an exchange booth) in Chaweng on Koh Samuii. They also have a branch at the Ploenchit Shopping Centre - (the place with the McDonalds near Nana Plaza). I have just checked my bank statements and see that the Nat-West were charging me £20 each time to transfer money, which although meant to be for same day value always arrived 3/4 WORKING days later (probably because of the currency conversion) and the exchange rates I was getting were on a par with those available in Thailand. BTW I always told the UK bank to send the sterling amount and left the conversion up to the Siam City Bank. I beleive that they are also in Pattaya (as well as loads of places elsewhere) - but as I have never used the bank their I cannot confirm this! Also they are owned by the Govt (they have tried afew times to sell it, but no-one wants to buy them!) so your money SHOULD be safe........ but don't quote me on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thalenoi Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 Yesterday I did a deposit on the Bangkok Bank account of my gf and I had to pay an extra 50 baht charges because I was in an other province or city than where the account is hold. I find this rather stupid! I also noticed a 10 baht charge for withdrawels, could be for the same reason. I hold an account at Siam Commercial Chumpon branch, did a deposit without charges at a Bangkok branch. I do withdrawels at the local branch here without charges. Any other experience with charges?
