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. |
