I'm going back packing around Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand for 5 or

weeks, and then spending 8 weeks in Japan.

What would you all suggest to do about money?
How much cash?
How much Travellers cheques?
How much just left to Visa card?


what about Burma/Myanmar

can one pay there with Visa
or with travellercheques ?
or get money in the bank with a creditcard ?

Is the only option there to pay with (small, clean) bank notes of USD ?
Can't believe that.







My understanding is it's cash only - a couple large hotels used to accept
credit cards but all the major CCs pulled out in the last month or so.
