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.
