Been in today , BKK bank state can use the new smart card anywhere , ATM's or shopping , as i'm MAybe going to use for cash withdrawals ATM 's In India i will get the exchange rate in India , there will be a BKK Bank charge of 200bht per transaction and also what the ATM charges , as there is a limit on the India ATM ( at the moment ) of 2500 rupee =1250 bht it could prove to be costly , but not as bad as the UK cards i havewazza wrote:I would let them know ur intentions of travel and location.

My advise leave your cards in your wallet and use $US and don't let anyone try to give you 500 or 1000 as they are now can not be use they have been taken out of circulation.
So be careful in the land of smiling assassins.
