Numbers not raised just printed flat on card Does that make a difference ?Giuseppe **********
I called my bank call center and tried to make my atm working in England. After everything was fixed, i went to England but didn't work. You need to have credit card, pobably.

my kasikorn bank card only works at VISA atms (which apparently isn’t all atms). found one bank in bali that it actually worked at. didn’t work at any other bank atms. I searched visa atms and found the specific ones and tried those with success.
weirdly enough, didn’t work at the visa atm in the US tho :(

Although I've never tried, I don't see any reason a Thai bank card would not work in Vietnam.

You often need to ask in bank to unblock foreign transactions, so this can be the case if it works or not abroad
