ATM withdrawal limits Thailand expats currency exchange Pattaya Bangkok Quarantine regulations Visa and immigration

OK, some info for those interested. We got out of quarantine 2 days ago. We had planned to head straight down to Pattaya, but decided to stay in Bangkok for awhile. We did go by the ekkamai bus terminal and they said the busses to Pattaya run 2 times a day, at 9am and 5pm. That was two days ago. Things may be completely different now since things are completely different. 😉

We are near Nana. Does anyone know where to go to get the largest ATM withdrawal limit? A few years ago we were able to get 45k from the Citibank ATM by terminal 21, but I think it's not that much anymore. 

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user shares their experience navigating Bangkok after quarantine, mentioning bus schedules to Pattaya and seeking information about ATM withdrawal limits. The conversation reveals varying limits across banks, with most capped at 20,000 to 30,000 THB per transaction. Options for higher withdrawals include counter transactions, with some banks allowing up to 50,000 THB per day. Additionally, experiences with travel between Bangkok and Pattaya and the current travel regulations are discussed.

If you're talking about a foreign card, you can take 30k at a time from the ATMs of Krungsri, TTB (formerly TMB), and Citibank. CIMB also allowed this, but I think they've gotten rid of all their machines, other than perhaps a few attached to physical branches.

SCB used to let you change your limit for a one time withdrawal by putting your passport number in. Might just be for customers that bank with them. It offered me upto 100k

Kasikorn will allow 50,000 per day but have to do 30k then 20k straight after.

Most banks will allow up to 30,000 baht but if the card is on Mastercard's network the maximum allowed withdrawal is only 20,000 baht per transaction.

All will charge a 220 baht transaction fee regardless of the amount withdrawn so best to get highest amount per time.

Yellow ones (can’t recall the bank name) usually allow 30K as long as your balance allows.

I think most banks are 20K THB. You can do a counter withdraw and it should be a lot higher.
