Answer

Yes, when you use ATMs in Phuket, there are typically service fees involved, which can range from 200 to 250 THB per withdrawal. This is standard for many international cards.

• It's a good idea to check with your bank beforehand to understand any additional foreign transaction fees that might apply to your account.

• To avoid multiple fees, consider withdrawing a larger amount of cash at once, as long as you feel safe carrying it.

Stay aware of surroundings, keep valuables secure and use reputable transport and booking channels. Treat urgent payment requests, unusually cheap offers and pressure to surrender original documents as warning signs.
