What are the ATM withdrawal limits and fees in Thailand?
What is max amount you can take from ATM in thailand .how much do they charge you and is there a best bank ATM to go to
Answer summary
In Thailand, the maximum you can withdraw from most ATMs, particularly the Krungsri (yellow) ATMs, is 30,000 THB per transaction, with a flat fee of 220 THB. However, fees and limits may vary based on your home bank's policies, and users are advised to decline Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) offers during transactions to avoid unfavorable exchange rates. Using debit cards like Charles Schwab or Wise can minimize fees, and many expats recommend withdrawing cash in bulk to save on transaction fees.

Your own Bank mostly will not charge you for the first 20x p month.

Amount varies, 20 to 25 thousand Bht you pay a 220 Bht charge or lose 220 BHT out of your requested amount, you pay either way.

Best ATM?A close one. Where are you located.

Depends on your bank.
Dany ********
30k from Krungsri ATMs (yellow) is the best limit per transaction. Depending on your own banks limits you can do multiple transactions.
i recommend using ATMs at a Bank in case your card gets stuck which happens quite often. they might be able to recover it. nearly impossible with an ATM somewhere else.
taking out 30k and declining the atm conversion and having a goog home bank that doesnt charge too crazy international fees is very good. about the same cost as using Wise and a local thai bank account.
a Charles Schwab bank account or any other bank that reimburses atm fees would be perfect.

If you have a Thai bank account the amount and charges vary according to the bank. I have a Kbank account. 30,000 baht is the limit for a single card less withdrawal (using my mobile phone) there is no charge and I can withdraw multiple times.

Yes, use the yellow Krungsri ATMs and they allow you to withdraw 30,000 THB at one transaction but you still must pay the 220 THB fee

With scb you could up it to 200,000 a day
Albert *************
If you go to a mall look for the yellow bank called Krungsri. Bring your passport and a Mastercard. Even prepaid is good. You hand your passport and card and you pay zero commission right into the Bank with good exchange rates. If you have only Visa card they will charge 200 THB. If you go with any card to an ATM it will be the worst. Or you could bring enough cash and choose a booth with the best exchange rate.

Best to withdraw cash from one’s bank prior to going to Thailand then exchange as & when needed.
I find that works best for my needs.
If going for extended periods of time ie over 90 days, then perhaps a different method of money management needed.

Aon atm machines charge around 150 baht fee. But there are not many bank branches in Bangkok. There is an Aon ATM at terminal 21 asoke last time I looked. The mall tha Phra also has a branch and atm on the 4th floor. I’m unsure what the maximum withdrawal limit is however the lower atm fee helps.

Strange, I only use cash in Thailand nowadays.Stephen ********
@James ******
strange, how can a tourist go cashless? I make a point of using cash. My little bit to try to prevent, or slow the implementation of a cashless society 🤷♂️Joe ******
@Stephen *******
you can choose to live in fear of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea if you choose to, that's what your country wants from you. But you can be free too if you choose to, and find out the truth, and not be scared about buying a plane ticket in China because they made up a narrative for you to fear. Your country has put fear in you, created an issue, invited you to get outraged, and then they will say you need to give your tax money to us to fight back. That's how the West works now.Joe ******
@Stephen *******
So you buy your car with cash, you buy your house with cash? Seems like crime is a big part of your life, or just scared of China or something. If you are smart you can use credit to buy things. It's normal, the USA is $31 Trillion debt, the biggest in the world. If you can't manage credit and use it to your advantage you have issues. How do you think students get through university these days in the West? The West is built around credit scoring and borrowing. That's how many people make a lot of money by borrowing cheap making profits and paying back. Simple business.Joe ******
@Stephen *******
I have, I know it well, as I know your Western propaganda beliefs about it too. I'm just smart enough not to fall for Western propaganda any more. Just because China is wealthier, stronger and more innovative than the West doesn't mean you should be afraid of it. You should be afraid of what the USA is making you believe right now.Stephen ********
@Joe *****
if want a car, I buy it. I want a rv, I buy it. Anything I do, I pay for it. No need for credit. As for Pretending China is bad, I'm simply pointing out that I don't want to be told I can't fly somewhere because my SOCIAL credit score is nit good enough. Whether I am right or wrong is irrelevant. Better safe than sorry. 🤷♂️Stephen ********
Blinkers? Go research China's social credit scoring system 👍🏻
Joe ******
@Stephen *******
yes cashless, as in you don't need to use cash to pay for things. FFS you are slow and don't bother keeping up with geopolitics. 🤣 Don't worry just keep pretending China is your enemy if that makes sense in whatever world you live in 🤣Stephen ********
@Joe *****
I'm fairly certain you commented that Thailand will be cashless in a few years. I'm not sure about your definition of cashless, but mine is no cash 🤷♂️Joe ******
@Stephen *******
Yes wealthy people always use credit. You don't seem to know much at all about this and just pretending China is bad for your own emotional reasons or Western backed propaganda beliefs.Stephen ********
@Joe *****
if you're wealthy, you don't really need credit 🤷♂️ But you're not really grasping to difference between credit score and social credit score. But I'll bid you goodnight in the hope that you will catch up 🤣Joe ******
@Stephen *******
Who said cash is done away with? You are the only one saying that 🤣Joe ******
@Stephen *******
where did you find that cool piece of Western propaganda? 🤣Stephen ********
@J**
Joe Joe, you're not listening. If cash was done away with (cashless society) how can it be used as a backup? 🤣🤣🤣Joe ******
@Stephen *******
If I have a good credit score in the West I get offers on all sorts of deals. If I don't have a good credit score I don't get offered deals. It's a way to know you are wealthy or smart enough to offered more than other people in your society. China is certainly not as repressive as Europe or the USA, but the propaganda from the West will always tell you China, Iran, Russia and North Korea are bad, those countries are the economic and military threat to the USA. Even though they don't threaten the USA, only with good cheaper products that the West can't produce cheap enough.Joe ******
@Stephen *******
I'm not choosing, I see less places needing to use cash. Same in the UK. If the system was down cash is a back up. Don't be scared, it's just the future.Stephen ********
@Joe *****
if you've any bad credit score in the west, you can't get credit. Or you can, but expensive credit. In China, if you have aow social credit score, you cannot book flights. How low does that social credit score need to be? I don't know. 🤷♂️Stephen ********
@Joe *****
you are choosing not to use cash. That's the choice you are making. Do you think handing over 50฿ in cash is any more difficult that opening your phone, logging in to your bank and scanning? Again, what if you've no Internet? What if they system is down. What then if there is no cash? 🤷♂️Joe ******
@Stephen *******
no it's the same thing. If you have a bad credit score in the West you can't buy a house, car or a TV. It determines your social status in Western capitalist states.Stephen ********
@Joe *****
there's a difference between a credit score and a social credit score. But best to buy without credit that way there's less control 🤷♂️Joe ******
@Stephen *******
like I said I hardly need to use cash, so what's the choice?Stephen ********
@Joe *****
you choose to pay at theoretically with cash. I've already said that digital transactions aren't a bad thing, loosing the choice is the bad thing 🤷♂️Joe ******
@Stephen *******
You have credit scoring in the West, be good and you buy more things. It's the same. 🤣. YOu have the double standards of a Western politicianJoe ******
@Stephen *******
I see the US government as the enemy of Europe and China, Iran, North Korea and Russia as free and not wanting to be controlled by the oppressive US government and neocon regimes.Stephen ********

funny how their social credit score will prevent said freedoms. So all is OK as long as you don't step out of line?Joe ******
@Stephen *******
how can you transfer cash internationally or pay online with cash these days? Even when I buy stuff from street vendors or at the market it's all done on QR code. Very simple. Nothing controlling or repressive about it.Stephen ********
@Joe *****
I certainly don't see any of those nations being an enemy, I would say governments are though. So tell me how, with my cash, how the UK government control how I spend?Joe ******
@Stephen *******
Chinese are very free and have a very good cashless system. Not so much in Europe or the USA these days. All the free countries are flocking to ally with China and BRICS, even Thailand is joining in a few years. How come you don't know this?Stephen ********
@Joe *****
100% about Canada. So why are you all for ditching cash, 🤷♂️ if you have your cash, blocking a bank account is a little bit inconvenient. But with no cash ans your account being blocked, it's a he'll of a lot more than inconvenient 🤷♂️Stephen ********
@Joe *****
your a bit nieve and childish with your "laughing" reactions 🤷♂️ do you think citizens of China have the freedoms that cash gives? 🙄Joe ******
@Stephen *******
Well the West controls your bank account anyway now with 5 eyes. Look at Canada blocking all bank accounts of truck drivers they didn't like protesting. Even in the UK political leaders are having their bank accounts closed and blocked. You have no choice in the West, you just comply now. It's way more repressive than China or anywhere else in the world.n You seem to love being repressed and controlled. I bet you think China is your enemy too, and Russia, and North Korea and Iran 🤣Stephen ********
@Joe *****
ok, so you like being controlled. 🤣 digital is convenient while there is choice. What happens when there is no choice and systems,are down? Or you've been locked out of your account for whatever reason?Joe ******
@Stephen *******
yep it's a good thing, cash is old school now. China is doing great with it's cashless systems, way ahead of the West.Stephen ********

and do you think it's a good thing? Next will be social credit scores and a ban onbtra Eling if you disagree with the government. Hence me insisting on paying cash to do my little bitJoe ******

I have a smart phone lol and a Thai bank account just don't need to use the QR codes for grab, rent etc. especially when using a lot more cash nowadays to avoid Thai tax.
Brian *********
Same as you home country (bank) limit.
Steven *******
In Thailand, the ATMs dispense the cash, then the receipt, then return your card. Many people have walked away with the cash and not waited for their card to be returned. When that happens, the ATM sucks it back in and you have to call the number on the ATM to get your card back.

Krungsri Bank (yellow bank) ATMs will allow up to 30,000 per withdrawal. There will be a flat 220 baht fee for any withdrawal.
BUT please be aware that during the withdrawal, the ATM will ask you if you wish to use a different exchange rate, which is much worse (5% worse). So, be sure to decline this different exchange rate. Don't "Accept" this new conversion rate, but be sure to pick the "No, Continue without Conversion" option. By doing this you will get the MasterCard or Visa country exchange rate which is a much better rate.
No one could possibly prefer the new offered exchange rate. What is being offered is known generically as Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) and is never a good idea. How can you tell you are being offered DCC? If it mentions any amounts denominated in your home currency, then you are being offered DCC. Don't accept it.

John ATMs are a complete rip off … not only are there fees on each side but the rate they give you is lower than the actually rate… right now it’s about 34.5 baht per $1.00 but the machines give you like 32.5 baht per dollar… doesn’t seem like a lot but let’s say you take out 30,000 baht… which some ATM will allow you are losing

of your money just in the exchange… its over $50 in exchange lost plus the fees

@Daniel *******
It is better to transfer the money to the Wise bath account at a good rate beforehand. And then, if necessary, hand it over in Thailand without any loss in exchange rate.Amel *********
but that does not give you cash
Dany ********
@Marcel ******
Wise costs also about 1% in fees. If your bank does a good conversion and doesnt charge you crazy amounts of international transaction fees, then it would cost about the same

Sorry but you’re confusing things. Look at the rate that your bank gives you and compare to what Google tells you. That’s waaayyyyy different.

no bank can beat wise. Forget fees and look at the exchange rates.
For me the wise fee is 0.4% and the diff in exchange rates to banks is 2-5% depending on the banks.

Correct. Only if you save the money over the year at a favorable rate in a bath account, be it Wise or th account, will you definitely be cheaper as the fees are .Dany ********
@Marcel ******
yes and my german bank gives me the same or a better rate than wise. so i compare the fees. and then a thai bank account doesnt come with a big advantage, especialy when we consider the tax situation. so i prefer just using my home bank.the best is having a charles schwab account or similar that reimburses all atm fees. better than wise transfer that is about 1% plus the exchange rate difference

It ranges from 20,000 to 30,000 baht but is also controlled by your card's daily withdrawal limit. The cartel of banks in Thailand charges 220 per withdrawal. You can go to the counter and withdraw money, but only at larger branches.

so why didn’t you mentioned that in your original response? Instead of making a blanket statement that the maximum single draw amount is 30 K Thai baht. Put yourself in the OP‘s position. He reads your answer and goes to a blue ATM and goes and finds out he can only draw 25K, then he goes to an SCB and tries and he can only withdraw 20 K. All I’m saying my friend is that your statement is very misleading because it makes it sound like you can go to any ATM and withdraw 30 K that’s all I have to say about the matter.Paul ***********

this isn't necessarily true. If all you're doing is withdrawing small amounts, say 10k each time, you are better off exchanging cash of you find a decent exchange rate and are exchanging £50 notes.

In Swedish Thai groups they're also talking about blue and green banks.Also a lot of questions like "The best nail extension saloon on Koh Lipe ?".
I'm happy to help with my experience.
I tend to be a bit sarcastic though, so I'm blocked from all of those groups.
