Tell me, please, is it better to keep cash in dollars for a vacation on Koh Samui or can you not change and withdraw rubles in baht from the card? Union Pay, Tinkov, Rosselkhozbank cards work and where is the best place to withdraw? Koh Samui, Lamai.

The Tinkoff Union Pay card is working. True, it is not accepted everywhere. You can withdraw cash baht from it from a dollar account at an ATM, but the commission for any withdrawal is 220 baht. I read that in a bank you can withdraw money from a card without a commission, I came to Bangkok Bank, so they cannot withdraw money from a debit card, only from a credit card. In krungsri and sbc banks, they do not work with union pay at all. It seems like baht can be withdrawn from a ruble account with union pay, only there will be a double conversion - first rubles into dollars, then into baht. At some unfavorable rate (judging by the articles from the Internet). It's easier to withdraw from a dollar account.

1) Depends on the bank. It is better to have a cache stock in any way. 2) Union Pay works. It probably doesn't matter where to withdraw, as long as the local bank doesn't ask for a commission.
