Agree, The back up is i can just use the money in LoS as i send regularly to my young bloke and his family out in Isaan by transferring to his mothers account and just withdraw cash with my foreign ATM card if it doesn't work out but it sounds like all will be good.

Thanks for all the replies, How long does it take them to issue a new card...on the spot or sometime later? I want the card so i can load some funds into the account pre trip and use it while there rather than carry a bundle of cash or TC's.

Thanks, Yes i do have a new Passport obtained just last week. Did you get a new ATM card from the branch the account was held or other?

My Thai Kbank ATM card from a CM branch expired 2 years ago and i'm planning on returning to LoS next year and want to find out the procedure to renew it so i can transfer funds to my bank account before i leave. My account is still active for transferring funds to support family. I recall from living there i needed to front up to the branch where the account was opened to get a new ATM and have a local address? I wont be going to CM this trip and don't have an address in LoS anymore. I could go to a Kbank branch when i arrive too. Has anyone any useful info regarding how i need to go about this? If worst comes to worst i'll call their call centre and see what they say ????
