Hi all

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

in

March and also a small amount of in Thai cash. I basically want to find

the

best value for money so does anyone know if it makes a difference if I
get
the cheques in $US or GBP?


No it does not. Perhaps there is still a 23 baht tax fee per note but
for
200 euro notes that is only 0.2% or so.

Yes it does. If the OP is in the UK getting TCs in US$ will incur a
currency exchange charge. If he doens't spend all of his TCs in
Thailand (unlikely, I know) he'll then have to pay another currency
exchnage charge to cash them in back in the UK.

Shouldn't we all know this. Naturally he did not ask this but whether one of
the two currencies has smaller exchange granulation over the other in
Thailand. In this respect the two currencies are similar. So, if one of the
two currencies is native then naturally one buys cheques for that currency.
