Anybody know where the Government Savings Banks are in Pattaya?


There is one on 2nd Rd about 100 meters on the right side as you head up from Pattaya Tai.
They are quite difficult to spot due to no English signage or bright coloured commercial livery.

I got this from another board.

Tukcom - Pattaya Tai (South Road)
Royal Garden - 2nd Road
The Avenue shopping center - 2nd Road
Central Festival Mall - location in mall unknown
Carrefore - Pattaya Klang (Central Road) - 2nd floor
East of City Hall - Pattaya Nua (North Road)
A couple of ATMs on Beach Road and Walking Street (one near beginning of Walking Street)

You can see the bank logo at the GSB web site.

Their ATMs look like this:

They also have mobile banks (in vans) that service some areas of Bangkok, but I am not sure if they are in Pattaya too.

And they are the only Thai bank to have a boat branch:

Crikey, they have brightened things up :shock:
Also, only a few years ago I seem to recall that only GSB account holder cards were able to withdraw funds from their ATM machines :? I know that because the one on Second Rd used to have a sign in English which said that.
I can see that is no longer the case, maybe I used them pink machines on recent stays in Pattaya without realising it was GSB, but then perhaps not because I tend to use mostly Bangkok Bank machines with my BB ATM card.

From this weeks Stickmanweekly:

"It would seem the Government Savings Bank has joined the group of banks which charges the holders of foreign-issued ATM cards at their ATM machines. 150 baht will de deducted from your account if you use a Government Savings Bank ATM.

A reader reports that AeonThailand does not charge the ATM fee. They even have a notice on their ATMs saying that they do not charge the fee like other banks do! It seems that the non-Thai banks don't charge i.e. UBS, HSBC and Citibank whereas all of the locally Thai-owned banks do."

Phuck this is getting old chasing the free ATMs. :roll: I also heard on a GG board that Aeon wasn't charging.

Here is Aeon's small list of ATMs in Pattaya:

Lotus South Pattaya - 2nd Floor Lotus South Pattaya
Home work Pattaya - 1st Floor Home work Pattaya
Carrefour - 2nd Floor Carrefour Pattaya Klang

Not sure I understand where the first two are located.

You can also find a list of banks by going HERE.

EDIT: Best I can tell Homeworks is on Sukhumvit in South Pattaya and Lotus is Tesco Lotus on Sukhumvit in Jomtien :?::?::?: If so not a great location for me.

Tesco Lotus is right across the street where Ezy girls live :oops: so I think this will become my usual place to stash myself with fresh cash. (EDIT: or not, I was Goggling and I still don't know the name of shopping mall but I'm sure it is not Tesco... I will soon have to return to Pattaya to get some pictures of this mall :wink: )

Assuming the shopping mall is on a main street you should be able to find it here: http://www.pattayaphotoguide.com/
