    I'm guessing you can use it. $1.50 charge for taking money out or something, yeah?

      Yeah, I don't imagine it being any different than in any other country. The system will do money conversion on the fly and you'll get USD equivalent in the local currency.

        I was there last year, didn't notice anything extraordinary but only used it on ATMs, a friend is there now, using the card in stores too, and I don't hear him complain

            In addition to the epassporte fees there is also an additional 150 baht (about $4.50) "foreign bank card charge" levied by the ATM machines of virtually all banks.

                Why not? Your card is just as likely to be cloned in a fancy New York or London restaurant than it is in Thailand.

                    as long as the atm says it accepts 'plus' cards you're goood.
                    you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                      Yes you can use ePass card as well as any other card in Thailand and even worldwide
                      ATMs of most Thailand banks will take additional fee of 150 baht for withdraval from any foreign bank card as lagcam said.

                        You can put the money in your ePassporte "wallet", so even if they clone your card the chances are high they will never get your money because you only put it back on your visa cards when you take money out of the ATM's. If you want to play it really safe you could even get a new card after the trip for only $35.

                          You know damn well that is not true. No reason to hide the fact that certain areas are more shady than others. Call a fucking spade a spade.

                          Oh and people please stop saying and typing ATM machine unless you stutter all of the time. Listen it is means Automatic Teller Machine in this instance and wouldnt it seem stupid to type Automatic Teller Machine machine.

                              Ignorant fool. There are very organized gangs of Albanians and Russians operating in places like London that will not only steal your CC details strait out the ATM but follow you home to go through your garbage.

                              Different countries, different crimes. Thailand has a gazillion banks, they are on every fucking corner of every street, just choose an ATM inside a bank.

                              Oh and saying ATM machine it is like saying PIN number you shouldn't, but it is common speak so who really gives a fuck?
