To pull cash from my US bank, I was planning up hitting an ATM (in Pattaya) with my Schwab Debit card, I know Schwab refunds ATM fees. Not sure of FX conversion rate or any options I can pick to get a reasonable rate and not get screwed. Thoughts?

------

UPDATE: My Schwab card didn't work at the Bangkok Bank ATM for some reason so I ended up using my Wells Fargo Card. I refused the ATMs conversion offer (and gave it a gentle but firm kick..one for the team :-0..out of the camera's sight).

Withdrawal: 25,000 Bhat

ATM Fee: 250 Bhat

Total: 25,250 Bhat

Welle Fargo Charge: 782.22

Exchange Rate: 32.28

Not terrible!UPDATE

Although at Suvarnabhumi Airport Immigration it stated for you to prepare documents, passport Visa boarding pass and TDAC.

I presented the first three, and the TDAC was never asked for, I had my phone out in preparation.

,I received 41.9 Thai baht to GBP, all three kiosks were the same.

So Super Rich is no better than the others, and next time I will consider transferring all my spending money by wise, and not bring some cash to transfer.

or I will take some Thai Baht home for my next visit, just to get me through to my home in Korat.

I'm sure I saw 42.2 buying and 39.1 selling, but on checking my receipt it was 41.9.

Hi what is the exchange rate for uk pound at the moment bank and booths please 👍

Regarding DTV Pricing: Official visa fee is 10k THB. However, since the DTV is only available outside of Thailand, prices set by the Thai consulates in local currency apply - at quite a premium.

Example:

Actual current exchange rate:

10,000 THB = 254 EUR

Price asked by the eVisa system in Germany / Berlin:

350 EUR = 13,768 THB

~38% more expensive.

Even higher premiums in other currency regions!

Still a great deal visa. Just letting y'all know.

My flight arrives at BKK and by the time I get through customs, it'll be about 11pm. Are there likely to be anywhere open to change money into Baht at the airport to pay for a taxi? Cheers.

Hi All, I'm prepping for my retirement to Thailand, I will be transferring £20k to my Bangkok Bank a/c but have NEVER transferred such a large sum internationally before, is SWIFT the best option?

My smart friends, question:

US bank account, Does it make better financial sense to withdraw 30,000 baht from local ATM and then deposit it into Bangkok Bank with out of province fees and local bank exchange rates...

OR use Wise and transfer?

I’m coming to Thailand in a few weeks and not sure what is a decent exchange rate at the moment. I’m in the UK and the best rate I can find is 41.740

Does anyone know of this is good?

Thank you
