Hi are there any ATMs in Karon, and are there Currency Exchange places in Karon? We are staying at Horizon Karon so something nearby there would be convenient.
Thanks.

ATMs and Currency Exchange in Karon?
Mrs J %26#39;s middle name could well be hyperbole but there are plenty of ATM%26#39;s and money changers in Karon.
If using ATM%26#39;s will be your preferred method of currency exchange, do yourself a favour and search these forums about the Wizard Mastercard. By far the cheapest method of using ATM%26#39;s, with the only fee being the 150 Baht imposed by the Thai banks on foreign withdrawals. With other cards, there are normally other fees on top of this (from your bank of issue) which can include any or all of a set dollar fee, a percentage of the withdrawal, and a currency conversion fee. Apparently the Travelex or Cash Passport fees are worse.
Make sure you tell your card provider you will be using your card overseas before you go, or they may freeze your funds until they can contact you.
