Ko Samui ATM's

I'm travelling to Ko Samui next month and I'm planning to use my Nationwide debit card for currency. Are there plenty of ATM's? If not are $ travellers cheques better than £? Thanks

  • I was in Ko Samui back in July and only had my Nationwide debit card with me and was fine. We stayed in Bophut and there is an ATM in the centre there and we also went to visit Chaweng and there were ones there too. I think as long as you are staying someone of a reasonable size you will be fine.

    Don't even think about purchasing US$ TCs. If you need TCs, purchase American Express Pounds Sterling.
    No shortage of cash points on Samui.
