What are the cheapest options to obtain Thai currency while in Thailand?

Brian ***********

Transfer funds from bank account to credit card , online ..Wait for it to clear onto the credit card. Go in bank with passport and withdraw the funds .. if your cards are paid in advance , no cash advance charge ..

If you owe $$$ on credit cards , then the 30,000 ATM withdrawal is best.

I have the paper trial to show where the $$$ came from. Never heard or knew it was to be a bank to bank transfer.

Only thing I use a bank for is to hold funds.
