How can I avoid paying 220bhat ATM fees and 20k withdrawals limit, as a language Ed-visa holder? That’s such a pain in the ass.

Is there any local app that verifies me with my type of visa so i can transfer everything there from my visa card to avoid charges? Or i donno, any other workaround?

EDIT: Please Stop telling me open a bank account. I WAS NOT ABLE even after asking my school agent, yes that's quite stupid that they don't allow a non-tourist person like me open an account in Thailand.

Everything else question here. As a regular tourist around Asia I'm interested in this Touch n Go Wallet. I've read the internet blurbs on it, but haven't spoken to anyone who's actually used it. What are the pros and cons? Cheers!

I opened a bank account at Kasikornbank mainly for the purpose of link that account with Grab. I am using Grab a lot and paying by Kasikornbank is 20-100 thb cheaper per ride then when you pay cash.

Opening an account went very smoothly no issues at all. Linking grab with Kasikorn bank seemed not possible so I returned to the bank and asked for help. The lovely lady called the callcenter in Bangkok and she told me that it’s not possible to link any Kasikorn account to Grab if the holder is a foreigner. If it’s a Thai nationality no problem!!

Anyone else has the same issue?
