The manager at Bangkok Bank hanging out with a lot of cash
I headed over to Bangkok Bank today to make a withdrawal for my trip to Malaysia tonight. I put my bank card in, guessed which button to push (beacuse for some reason it was all in Thai with no English option) and went for the “quick cash” option. It acknowledged the transaction and spit my card out. Little problem. No money came out. I checked again to make sure I wasn’t crazy and yes, I confirmed…still no money. I had a mini panic attack because I wasn’t sure if it had charged my account for that 10,000 baht and because I know absolutely no Thai, I worried that I wasn’t going to be able to communicate the problem.
Luckily, the manager of the bank spoke pretty good English and I was able to tell him that I did not get my money. I then waited with the growing crowd outside the bank and had the privilege of watching him put more money into the ATM, which was fun since I have never seen how it was done before.
Exciting day at Bangkok Bank in Lang Suan!
