manaomaiminam Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Friend of mine said she went to a BAY ATM yesterday and did not get the 150 baht charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 NO fee :thumbup: : -- Bank of Ayutthaya -- Whatever one is at the 7-11 at the corner of Suk & 22 (LOL) (that's a Bank of Ayutthaya one) -- Government Savings Bank -- UOB Charging the B150 fee : -- Krung Thai Bank -- Siam Commercial Bank -- Bangkok Bank -- Thanachart Bank -- Kasikorn Bank (aka K-Bank) Watch yourself at BAY (Bank of Ayutthaya) tho'. They now have the "helpful option" of converting the deposit to your home currency. At a crap rate, of course -- last night they offered 32.99, where my bank gave me 34.15. So when that screen comes up, just say no! Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldFun Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Anyone tried the less known/widespread 'Bank Thai' (reddish color ATMs) regarding the foreign fee yet? Else we're down the 3 remaining fee free for now: *GSB (very very rare to find I never recall having seen such an atm at all?) *BoA (by far most common 'yellow' atm) *UOB (the foreign outsider quite often found in popular areas such as suk soi 3 near nana junction!) *Citi (only found at sathorn not far from soi convent) or are those single branch foreign banks perhaps also charging???

ThaiHome Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I haven't tried myself, but reports are that Bank of Ayutthaya and UOB are now charging. Gov Savings Bank is supposdly not. I suspect that is only because they have not done the accounting and programing changes yet. As you said, ATM's from them are very rare. There is one on Suan Plu accross from Immigration.

.. Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 BoA is NOT charging as of yesterday, just that weird "exchange rate" thing I mentioned earlier (just say NO). There is a GSB ATM in the Asoke BTS station, near the stairs to the MRT. It is pink. Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 UOB Suk and Soi 93, no fee Just pulled some baht out today. 34.185 Baht to USD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyebee Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Took out money from Bank of Ayudhya (sp?) ATM on 2nd Road in Pattaya yesterday. The screen said "The fee for this transaction is 150 baht", but lower down the same screen it said "Fee = 0.00". I wasn't charged, but weird, huh? Another bank that apparently isn't charging, and isn't a member of the Thai Bank cartel is Aeon. They say they do not charge on their website - link. It's Japanese owned and has a number of ATMs, mostly in shopping malls. You can find the locations of their ATMs by going to their website here.
