i haven't ignored anything. The purpose of my post is to share information with the group on the most economic ways to obtain thai baht and avoid ATM fees. There's been many interesting and helpful responses. I have more information and others have thanked me for the post as they too have learned something.

@Thomas ******
you'd pay $90 to hear what's tomorrow's weather going to be? How many lots of $90 do you frivolously spend each day or each week? I can give you my PayPal and you're welcome to throw away a few 90s in my direction. Lol. Mr Money. Nice. You think thrifty people are broke or mentally impaired?

Greg I'm sorry you have problems to understand simple things. I'll try one last time. 3000 is chicken shit if im buying a big ticket item ..electrical goods car or a condo. You don't understand it's a huge amount to pay for information that's freely available. Would a,diagram help you?

@Sam ****

I'm not guessing ok. I've done it 100 times. Credit or debit card. Cash advance same exchange rate as ATM from visa or mastercard. You don't understand Cash advance. It isn't a currency conversion. That's done by visa or mastercard. My uk debit card has FREE foreign currency transactions so again you're wrong. My old barclays credit card was free for foreign currency transactions many years recently started charging. I want to use my debit card for foreign transactions without ATM discrimination. So either cash advance or XE app cash collection. Beats the ATM scam every time.

@Nongnuch *******
you are INCORRECT. Cards are either visa or mastercard. Visa and mastercard use interbank exchange rates for foreign currency transactions. Some foreign banks add foreign transactions fees on top of conversion and some do not. I am speaking from years of experience obtaining cash advance foreign currency transactions so I know what I'm talking about. It's all done on visa or mastercard network. Thai bank only sets rates where foreigner asks for currency conversion. Also you ignore the 220 baht ATM fee is discriminatory against foreign customers.

I recommend Cash Pickup on XE app. Siam Commercial Bank collection only 100 baht.
