The details of this Sakon Nakhon event are unconfirmed, but I consider the source very reliable.
A western gentleman was in the process of withdrawing Bt20,000 from the ATM.
He did notice two men behind him, possibly waiting their turn to use the machine.
One of the men engaged the westerner in a conversation, obviously distracting him from his transaction.
By the time he turned his attention back to the ATM, the transaction was complete, and the cash was gone.
As anywhere in the world, whenever you use an ATM, be aware of your surroundings and be alert.
If you notice people suspiciously lingering in the area, go to another ATM
Avoid being distracted, the ATM is not a location to meet and make new friends.
