Last year, if you withdraw money from CIMB bank, there won't be any fees. Just the exchange rates difference. Of course you have to have a CIMB bank account. Not sure whether this service is still free now. Any forummers can update on this maybe?

Although withdrawal at CIMB Thai ATM is free for CIMB MY customer, the rate isn't pretty.
I got 10.61 thru the ATM, when the moneychanger in KL is selling around 10.51.
And while in Jakarta, for IDR 1mil - RM330, when moneychanger in KL is around 322.

And for comparison sake, I did a withdrawal of same amount using CIMB & Maybank ATM card at HSBC in HK, same time same machine. The conversion rate of Maybank is 1.5% lower than CIMB.

May I also add:
1) One can take DMK airport bus to Mochit (BTS Mochit & MRT Chatujak) for THB30 or public bus for THB16.

Avoid the demonstration area & take BTS + MRT, plus avoid wearing sensitive colors like Red & Yellow.

I got a friend in BKK right now & he's been busy running around MBK, Chatucak, Pratunam this past few days.
