Hi all

I think I've decided to take some travellers cheques to Thailand with me =

March and also a small amount of in Thai cash. I basically want to find t=
he=20
best value for money so does anyone know if it makes a difference if I ge=
t=20
the cheques in $US or GBP?

The reason I'm taking cheques and not using my debit card in ATMs is beca=
use=20
my bank charge me a 2.75% overseas transaction charge plus 2% (minimum =
=A32)=20
for cash advance. I think it's a bit cheeky but that's their rules.

Are you sure you are not confusing a credit card with an ATM card ? Cash=20
advance is usually done with credit cards, not debit (ATM) cards.

In any case, changing banks would be a good idea.
