Anyone have an update on this? Most ATM's I've tried in NK are charging the B150.

Does anyone know of any ATM's that aren't charging the fee now?

Thanks for any updates.

I have noticed that the Bank of Ayudhya (Krungsri Bank) still don't seem to be applying any charges when using their ATM's, my last withdrawal from them was around a week ago, so something may have changed since. I am 99% sure that everywhere else now makes the 150 baht charge :(.

Quick update: Just tried Aeon yesterday - apparently no charge - no mention of any, anyway, so assume not.

Anyone else know of any charge-free ATMs (still?) for international withdrawals?

Appreciate any intel.

I think they may not have been able to implement the fee yet - probably for technical reasons.

And this is probably why 2 of their employees asked me to use another ATM last time I went to use theirs.

I did move on last time, but may push it next time they try to dissuade me - probably illegal to do so.

I would suggest that if the Aeon ATM, (or indeed any other ATM), has the logo of your ATM card displayed, e.g. "visa" or "mastercard" logo, then you are fully entitled to use their ATM, whether they impose a charge or not! Staff locally should have no reason to dissuade you, unless they know that their ATM won't, for some reason, accept your particular card, or perhaps because their ATM has run out of cash!! ;)
