TLDR : Answer Summary

ATMs in Thailand typically charge around 220 baht (approximately $7) per transaction for US Visa withdrawals, in addition to any fees your home bank may impose. Cashing personal checks is not possible, although traveler's checks might still be an option. It is recommended to bring cash, as many places may charge extra to pay by credit card, and cash can be easily exchanged at various kiosks or banks.

You cant get a Visa from and atm machine. 555, see what I did there. " About Visas and everything else". Okay, sorry Ill see myself out. Bring cash if you dont want to pay the fees. Someplaces will charge you to pay by CC too. Bring it though. Stuart is a guru and really knows his stuff you can trust his advice. Crisp new 100 bills without any marks on them

ATMs will charge you 220 baht per transaction (on top of what your own bank may charge for the service/exchange).

Won’t be possible to cash a check. Travellers checks perhaps (do they still exist?).

Cash can be exchanged everywhere. Lots of kiosks in the tourist resorts or cities. Banks in the more rural places.
