But aren't all the ATMs in Thailand bank specific?

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!

No, actually, further South. Not between Soi Yamoto and Soi Post Office. Between Soi Post office (13/2) and Pattayaland 1 (13/3).

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!

It might well be Evil... you just made a double post too!

Well bitcoin and the £ are going down!

Yes, only 3 visitors between you and the post before mine. Kev, jimbowx, Evil Penevil,....? I thought I was being helpful!

Sad tale Atlas..... kudos for helping out.

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.

The OP is from the UK so I do not think that is an option for him.

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.

I think Soi 5 insisted I needed 2 residency letters last time I went, as of course I was renewing 2 licences. Another BS scam!

Perhaps maximum MM?

Well that is good news too. It was always a slight let down to see what we got from Doha to Manchester after the 777 service from Bangkok. This time I go from A380 to A330.

Once posted anyone can add to a thread, you don't really own it. A few comments and questions are to be expected and come along with the free advertising. They also give it a nice bump.

Well I recall Winston quite well although was unaware of that particular business venture, I heard of others, an Expat hotel was one. More of a shock to learn I am an old-timer!

I know people have done credit card withdrawals, but I thought it was also possible to use a debit card, with passport. Personally I haven't done it ( I live here and have a local account of course), I just researched this a bit more and it appears to be being 'phased out' in the Thai banks and customers told to go use the ATM. One poster in the link below did say I withdrew cash, over the counter, at a Bangkok Bank branch yesterday 4/3/2015 (shopping center branch) using a UK Visa DEBIT card. I have been withdrawing cash, about once a month, at the same branch for a couple of years, never any problem. Here is a thread on Thai Visa/ I have heard the same claim at the Expats Club a number of times. Although most guys there are senile, including me.

You can also turn 1st left, which will put you onto the tail end of the Hwy 7 motor-way, and take a right onto North-bound Sukhumvit at the lights, and onto North Rd. Unfortunately for me this is too far North for the New Home-Pro which is where I wanted to get to! :

Just edited it to 153..... still a bit steep particularly with small denomination cheques of course.

Yes, I believe it is 153 baht per traveller's cheque now, similar to what you pay on the Thai end for an ATM withdrawal (mostly 180 baht). Apparently the 'cheapest' way is to take the card into the bank and make a withdrawal as a debit card.
