If you are looking for a way to pull money outside atm or WU

Krungsri bank 200 baht fee off your US Debit and at rate for market. Bring passport quick and easy no ATM fee or foreign atm fee

** Edit just to clarify for the troll of the group Stewart Stuart Cumming a moderator they will only do this if you are wanting to pull over 60000 baht otherwise they will tell you to use ATM.

Sorry I assumed he would have common sense that if you were pulling lower amounts they would tell you to use ATM .. seems I forgot the nature of trolls on the net

Is there any QR Pay app for payments that I can easily access as foreigner?

Ok with all the lovely info shared by members of this group, got my starter pack ready lol … am I missing anything??

*Charles Schwab debit cards - for zero ATM FEES

*REVOLUT debit card- used mainly in Thailand?

*Wise debit card- main way to make payments without a Thai bank

*International Drivers License-

*DTV printed in A6 format.

*Passport

Am I missing anything ? -

*Health Insurance to be purchased when I arrive

* SIM card- will be purchased at arrival.

Quick question. I used wise debit card at ATM to withdraw 20000baht from my baht current account. ATM charged 220baht but wise also charged me 350 baht. Is this normal , l was told only ATM charge will be 220 baht.

This can be a promising alternative to Thai Bank for those who have not been able to open Thai bank account.

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.

anyone had luck opening thai bank account with DTV? I want to avoid these pesky ATM fees.. what to do if they ask for proof of your apartment??

Should I open my bank account in Bangkok branch or where I’m going to be living most of the time?

In the Bangkok area, which money exchange counter do you think has the best exchange rate?
