This includes payments for services like Netflix, shopping on platforms like TikTok,
Alibaba, or Amazon, and booking hotels through Agoda. The banks justify the DCC 
charge as standard practice for international transactions.

If a transaction is cancelled, the 1% DCC fee will be refunded to the primary cardholder’s
credit card account. Kasikornbank, Bank of Ayudhya, TMB Bank, UOB (United Overseas
Bank), KTC, Cards EX, and AEON Thana Sinsap have informed their customers that the
fee will be implemented from May.
