ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello! I have a friend who is here in Thailand for his kid’s doctor appointment. He lives in the Middle East and is wondering if there is a place that he could withdraw USD (upwards of $10,000 to exchange back in his country). Does anyone have any recommendations for where to do this? 

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquired about withdrawing USD while in Thailand for a friend's doctor appointment, specifically seeking to withdraw upwards of $10,000 to exchange back in the Middle East. Responses indicated that the most feasible option might be to withdraw Thai baht and then exchange it for USD, although this is not considered very efficient. Further comments suggested a sense of resignation regarding the availability of direct USD withdrawals.

The best he can do is withdraw Thai baht and exchange that to USD. Not a very efficient thing to do.
