Are there any specific safety tips for using ATMs in Phuket?

When using ATMs, always opt for machines located in well-lit, busy areas or inside banks. This helps ensure your safety while withdrawing cash.

• Be cautious of your surroundings and try to shield your PIN entry from prying eyes. It's also wise to keep an eye on the ATM for any unusual devices that could indicate tampering.

• Additionally, remember to notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid any issues with your card being blocked while you're overseas.

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.
