  1. Well you could say that about Sizzlers!
  2. Gandhi
  3. It isn't that much, in fact if you are in the same region you may be allowed some for free. This suggests 20 baht..... Link
  4. You misunderstood or I was not clear. Aren't all the ATMs belonging to a particular Thai bank, ie yellow, or pink or blue and orange etc. That is why you see a long row of several machines in malls. Whether there are differences in machines utilised by a particular bank brand is another point, albeit interesting. It means it doesn't always matter whose machines you use. Anyhow, my local card has a chip in it and I believe I have to use Bangkok Bank ATMs exclusively, and they seem to be giving the most notes out anyhow.
  5. Teelack I think he is talking about any purchase of goods/services when using a credit card not paying off the cash advance. He would pay his cash advance off in £stlg as that is how it would appear on his statement, likely get onto internet banking soon after and pay it from his Sterling account with the same bank that issues the CC. When I bought some duty free in Dubai, for example, with my UK CC, they offered me the choice of paying in Dirhams or £. DrPat says pick local. Maybe they even offer you that choice with a cash advance.........personally I have not tried that (I am old fashioned, credit cards used to start charging interest immediately on cash advances at a high rate).
  6. I have had that thought too, although I don't think I would be having breakfast.
  7. The 39 steps
  8. With varying maximum withdrawal!
  9. Flaps down all the time!
  10. Experienced with handling the joystick too I expect.
  11. But aren't all the ATMs in Thailand bank specific?
  12. I was going to ask how you whizzed back down from Laos and got out and about so quickly. I have a rose apple tree and was getting concerned as the lack of rain meant young fruit was dropping off and I figured another year of hardly any..... but the rain fixed that, the weight of water and fruits broke off the best branches yesterday!
  13. Some much welcome rain, caused floods of course and broke branches offf my tree.

  14. No, actually, further South. Not between Soi Yamoto and Soi Post Office. Between Soi Post office (13/2) and Pattayaland 1 (13/3).
  15. To be honest Gonzo I would be quite pleased for that to happen, I might well put my card in twice and get a thick wad of 500's . Always seem to be short of change and find the 500s more useful!
  16. It might well be Evil... you just made a double post too!
  17. Well bitcoin and the £ are going down!
  18. Yes, only 3 visitors between you and the post before mine. Kev, jimbowx, Evil Penevil,....? I thought I was being helpful!
  19. Sad tale Atlas..... kudos for helping out.
  20. Seabiscuit
  21. Try this link for location
  22. Well I have had a single bill dispensed! Someone suggested to me that if I needed change, you simply ask for 1000 baht, and it automatically decides to give you 10x100 baht bills. Of course that was not the case and I walked off with a single crisp 1000 baht note.... I have subsequently always requested amounts with a 900 on the end. I am still utterly confused by your maximum/minimum thingy but hey, it is Monday morning.
  23. The OP is from the UK so I do not think that is an option for him.
  24. The Cider House Rules.
  25. There is always the repair shop in the basement of Tuk-Com, Amorn is it? Although the though of transporting a flat screen bigger than 29 inch there would have me tipping it and buying new.
