I use ATMs extensively in Asia, and continuously in Bangkok. IME it is not unusual to come across machines that routinely run out of cash during weekends or long holidays.</font>
I've never been to Bangkok (hopefully, soon), but I've never had a problem using ATMs at any time of day in Europe, Asia, or Africa (with the exception of PIN "letters vs. numbers" issue which was my fault in the first place). If one was out of order, there always was another one nearby. I guess I just was lucky. Thanks for letting me know about potential problems, I'll keep it in mind in the future.
