If you are in Bangkok or Pattaya, and looking for ATMs where you can save some money on the transaction fees, this article has the right information. But let me share some background first.

In Thailand, when you use an international debit card to withdraw cash from an ATM, you are charged a transaction fee of 220 Baht, over and above any fees levied by the card issuing bank. This is true about most banks’ ATMs in Thailand, but there is one exception.
There is one bank whose ATMs charge a fee of only 150 Baht. And that one bank is, Aeon Bank. With Aeon Bank’s ATMs, you can save 70 Baht on every cash withdrawal transaction in Thailand.
The only catch is, you have to find an Aeon Bank ATM first.
Here, I will share the exact location and service timings of Aeon Bank ATMs which I could locate in Bangkok and Pattaya.
1. Aeon Bank ATM in Bangkok
The Aeon Bank ATM I found in Bangkok was in Big C Supercenter building at Rajadamri. This place is close to Chit Lom BTS Station, and can be accessed via Ratchaprasong Walk (R-Walk).
Exact Location
When at Big C Supercenter, go to Level 3, and you will see an Aeon Bank branch there. The ATM is outside the branch and can be used even when the branch is closed.
Service Timings
Big C Supercenter opens daily from 9.00 AM to midnight, and, therefore, the Aeon Bank ATM can be used during those hours.
2. Aeon Bank ATM In Pattaya
The Aeon Bank ATM I discovered in Pattaya was in Lotus’s supermarket building on North Pattaya Road. This place comes between Terminal 21 mall and North Pattaya Bus Station.
Exact Location
After entering Lotus’s (ground floor), turn left, and then turn right. At the end of the corridor, you will come to an Aeon Bank branch and ATM. The ATM is installed outside the branch, and it can be used even when the branch is closed.
Service Timings
Lotus’s is open every day from 8.00 AM to 9.00 PM, and the Aeon Bank ATM inside this building can be used during those hours.
I have personally used this ATM. I withdrew 20,000 Baht and was charged a fee of 150 Baht only.
A Request
Aeon Bank is notorious for closing down its ATMs. If you go to the above two places and find any ATM missing, please be kind enough to let me know using the comment form below. It will help all of us.
