At a cost, yes.

Most tourists don't want to spend half a day at immigration. If you use agents, more cost.

I personally think that if the Thai government want to fetch this 30 day back in, they should give a clear notice of around 3 or 4 months while in that time, they can see how booking numbers for planes & hotels are affected in relation to visitor numbers from neighbouring countries.

@Abhishek ******

possibly will, but only on condition they vote Libour.

cheers for the info Dave, never know when I might need it.

@David ******

It is rare that I have used my card actually in Thailand as I usually take UK cash & exchange it at TT Exchange for baht but I took the gist of the question to be :- Was it possible to get Thai money from a bank with a UK credit or debit card.

Going back quite a lot of years, I remember there was no charge from any of the ATM's, & you could usually get upto around 10,000 bht a time, but as time went on charges were brought in with the Krungsai Bank being the last bank to impose this.

If any of the above is info is incorrect, I would like to be corrected.

Yes, in Krungsai Bank, (yellow bank), Central Festival, Pattaya.

Used Nationwide Debit card. Just need passport.

Can withdraw large amounts as long as funds in bank back in UK, with only 1 atm charge of approx 220bht and a non sterling transaction set by visa rules I believe.

That feedback irrelevant.

Good feedback from everyone else.
