Phone call off my bank fraud team this morning informing me that my bank card that's in my wallet had been used to gain substantial amounts of money last night in chiang mai unlucky it was declined always use ATMs in banks fellow board members.
Well said hubert, carrying that much cash can be dicey to say the least! Do you have a Thai bank account? Best thing I ever did 4 years ago, now I just deposit my cash on my arrival day and use my Thai ATM card for the trip!
