Add their LINE account and ask them for daily update for desired currency.
for convenience sake, you may consider WISE, which offer very fast and easy transfer of fund from your own bank account to the WISE wallet in the desired currency. You can then withdraw money from ANY ATM in Thailand using the WISE physical card. The rate is highly competitive and as far as Malaysia is concerned, the rate offered is far superior to rates in Malaysia and better or same as SUPERRICH or similar money exchange in Thailand.
Last week I used Trust card in Bangkok to withdraw baht from ATM.
The exchange rate was good at 27.21 baht..... and no fees charge by Trust.
But the ATM in BKK has a service fee of 220 baht for every withdrawal.
The ATM I used has a withdrawal limit of 20,000 baht..... so after including the service fee I realised no difference from changing at moneychanger shop.

I think all ATMs in BKK have the 220baht charge for foreign charge withdrawals. There is really no escaping that sadly.
Afaik there is only one bank's ATM that does not have withdrawal fee. (Green colour ATM) But their ATMs are few and very hard to find in BKK..... but I know there is one located at the carpark opposite NEP beside Hooters. It always has a long queue and most of the time it is emptied out as soon as it is replenished.
I was told there is another one at MBK but I could not locate that one.
Depends...... different banks have different withdrawal limits.
I know Bangkok Bank if you use the ATM inside their branch can draw 50K..... but their ATMs outside in the malls only 30K max.

Touristy areas I think mostly Blue. Bangkok Bank. Alot of foreigners use this bank.
Green. Kasikorn Bank. Is actually the more popular bank among Thais. So depend on location I assume.
I usually stay near T21, the exchanger at bts station is very good. Jowadays I used trust card easy to withdraw and decent fx for cc transactions. Not the best but convinient and acceptable rate.

Green should be Kasikorn Bank? if that is the bank, it has the same withdrawal fee for foreign cards at 220 baht per withdrawal and Kasikorn bank ATM is certainly not few and hard to find anywhere in Thailand. The lowest fee is by Aeon Bank at 150 baht per withdrawal but it has very few outlets and machines and unless you are near to one of them, it is hardly worth the trouble and the difference of 70 baht to hunt down them. as far as I know, there is no Thailand bank that offer ATM withdrawal of cash using foreign cards FOC.

I dunno which bank.. but there are 3 ATMs side by side at the Nana hotel carpark. The green one there always has queues..... whereas the other 2 less people use.
Maybe it's one of those "special" ATMs.
I can confirm that particular ATM does not have withdrawal fee for UOB, MayBank, OCBC bank cards.
* I just learnt from one of my vendors that no fees applicable is only for direct bankcards. Those using credit cards have fee payable.

Direct bank cards, correct. But becareful, they also have province distinction. For example you opened the account in hua hin, then use the atm in pattaya, have charge. but they charge local card 15 baht.
Not sure which bank seperate by province, but i think bangkok bank the blue one dont have service charge regardless of province.
