automatic teller machines came to thailand in the early eighties.It is now a common sight to see people queuing to withdraw their money,but perhaps if everyone knew the risks of using these machines,they would not be so popular.there are several ways in which atm can cause frustration and even financial hardship.there may be a power cut, or banknotes may get stuck when the machine tries to pay them out.it has even happened that a robber used glue to stop an atm paying money out, then removed the glue with a solvent and stole the backed-up banknote.
