Landed same day but earlier at 11:30am.  Immigration slammed with long lines.
One of the longest I've had to deal with in a long time. Lots of bloody idiots without
their paper work fully prepared.  Clueless
Depends on arrival time.

I use the S/F Visa Debit card exclusively now. Ever since I first talked about it here.  There has been 'no' tag on 1% fee of any sort in any of many ATM pulls.  I just hope it continues that way.  

Coincidentally I just got my credit reports (27/June) from all three major credit reporting agencies. Only TransUnion showed up and it was as an 'inquiry'.jgm

And in looking at that site for that, I noticed they're saying that the State Farm Bank accounts charge a 1% FCF on both ATM and POS transactions abroad....  But clearly, you guys are saying they don't...

So, in this instance, is the FlyerGuide site either wrong or out of date on this???

The web site also is saying State Farm does a hard credit pull on new account openings with all three major credit agencies....

JF,
Wrong direction.  Khon Kaen Central Festival has a AEON branch inside with two ATM's outside.   In Udon Thani, if we go that way, has an AEON ATM in the Old Tesco past the airport.   Either one is out of the way unless we have a reason to do some 'real' shopping.  :-)

Interesting.. indeed...

When I check the AEON web site for locating branches and their ATMs, it shows no locations anywhere in Nong Bua Lamphu province or even in the adjoining Loei province... It does show a branch in adjoining Udon Thani province, in the main city, on the other side of NBL province...

The wife, up in Nongbulamphu, has been using the Schwab VISA Debit card twice or so a month at the local Kasikorn ATM for about three months now.  Thus incurring the 150bt fee each time (Closest AEON ATM is a solid two hour R/T drive from the home). It has always been automatically reimbursed within the first couple of business days in the next month.

Jim, I'm assuming you're talking about the Schwab VISA debit card associated with their "high yield" checking account.

Yes. No refund showing yet for my 12 Jul withdrawal. Will see what happens at the end of the month.

Thanx.

Re Cap One's ATM debit cards (NO VISA or MC logo), I've never yet had a block on their debit card in terms of using it at ATMs abroad, and I've never done a travel notification re my Cap One bank account that's associated with the ATM card.

In a call I had with a Cap One CSR I was told with the new ATM cards one does not have to call ahead to alert them it will be used overseas.  ON the old ATM cards I had it blocked more then one time when I did not remember to call ahead.
