Not at all, it is a card your bank gives you,聽 with your money converted into Bhat, and you swipe it as you go.聽聽It is widely used abroad, but someone mentioned that it does not work in Phuket, so I was just wondering

Oh, thank you.

I'm an American and I have a Schwab account/card. I put money into the account and with draw as I wish. I am in Chiang Mai and I have no problems with it. I assume the same would hold true with Phuket. Then again my circumstances may be different from yours.

Do they charge you for the currency conversion? Somebody's gotta be making money off of this.
