Cash
- cash remains the most realistic way to take money into the
region. The key currency is US dollars, but ensure that you
take new edition currency as old edition $50 and $100 bills
are often not accepted.
Do not order local currency from your home country. All major
airports have banks, and all banks accept US dollars.
Travellers cheques - are accepted
in banks of major capital cities in all countries.
Credit cards -are widely accepted
in Thailand, but beware that smaller enterprises will surcharge
if you use a credit card. Consider paying a sum into your
credit card account to give you a positive balance that you
can draw on overseas. Credit cards are accepted in major hotels
in other countries.
ATM Machines - are available just
about everywhere in Thailand and nearly all are part of worldwide
networks. ATM machines are not generally available in other
countries.
