all Aussie travel cards get hit with 220baht cash withdrawal fee at atm, if only going for a holiday cash is king most places prefer cash, markets etc definitely cash
you were lucky then because they have been asking at bkk and asked everyone in front of me for their boarding pass as well, pain in the ass as some have on their phone and have to hunt for it.
when was the last time ? I come every 2 weeks and they have been asking for at least 6 months. Previously they had the tm6 and never asked for boarding pass
