TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can use your UK ATM card with a 4-digit PIN at Thai ATMs, as they accept cards from other countries without requiring you to change your PIN. When using an ATM in Thailand, select the option to continue without currency conversion to avoid extra fees. If your 4-digit PIN doesn't work, try entering '00' followed by your 4-digit PIN.

If the 4 digit doesnt work for some reason, simply enter ‘00’ as the first 2 digits followed by your 4 digits.
