Banks in Thailand close early, (with the exception of branches in malls, which may close later). Thus, most use money-changing booths that are open until late at night. More than a hundred currency exchange booths can be found throughout Pattaya, namely in places with a large concentration of tourists, for example, South Pattaya Beach Road or Walking Street.
With the exception of private exchangers, most bank currency exchangers set approximately the same rate. It makes sense to compare exchange rates, provided that you will change a large amount of money. When exchanging small amounts, you should not particularly bother with the exchange rate. Both currencies (dollars and euros) are accepted - either in cash or as traveler's checks (which is better than any exchange rates and in terms of security in case of loss). Do not change money at the hotel reception, the exchange rate offered by hotels is very low. Also, do not pay hotel bills in US dollars or euros.

Most ATMs have easy to understand menus in Thai and English. In general, they provide reliable banking services, but can be short of ATM breakdowns late at night, especially on weekends or during Thai holidays. Hundreds of ATMs are located outside banks and shopping centers, in most supermarkets or in other tourist-oriented areas. In general, all major credit cards should work at most local ATMs. However, ATMs always display the appropriate logos. Transaction fee for cash withdrawal from foreign credit cards (including Russian ones) - 150 baht per transaction! If you have a Thai debit card, there are no ATM withdrawal fees, as long as your bank's terms and conditions require it. When withdrawing cash from ATMs of other banks, the service fee is usually 20 baht.

Please note that in addition to the transaction, your bank will charge a percentage for currency conversion, so I take the card as a safety margin just in case. By the way, if you pay with a card in a store, then money is not withdrawn for the transaction. The exchange rate in exchangers depends on the bills used, the most profitable is $50 and $100, the smaller the bill, the more you lose on the course.

And warn your bank about the possible use of the card in Thailand.

there was also a PrivatBank currency card and cash. We paid for purchases (more than $ 100) with a card. The bank was not warned. But maybe we were lucky and the bank did not block the card.

Thanks to all.
The bank won't block it for sure. I was only interested in the availability of ATMs :)
