7. Money & Payments
Paying smart while you’re training and staying in Thailand can save significant money. Here’s how to navigate cash vs card, fees, and long-term planning.
Using Card vs Cash
Cards are increasingly accepted (especially in places like convenience stores and 7-Eleven).
Always ask: is there a foreign transaction fee from your bank?
At many ATMs in Thailand, fees for withdrawals by foreigners typically range from 150 to 220 THB per transaction. Wise+2Clever Thai+2
Avoid “dynamic currency conversion” (DCC) at ATMs or merchants—always choose to be charged in Thai Baht. Cat is Out of the Office+1
Practical Tips
Use your card for purchases when there’s no extra surcharge (e.g., at 7-Eleven).
Withdraw larger amounts less frequently to minimise ATM fees.
For longer stays, consider:
Opening a Thai bank account (if visa allows) so you withdraw with local ATM rates.
Using Western Union to transfer larger sums at better rates rather than repeated small withdrawals with high fees.
Keep some cash on hand in case you visit local markets or rural spots that are cash-only.
