I can just advice to take different parts of money. I run into problems
when my atm card was refused (for no reason at all!) in Thailand.
Without money you get a problem! Never rely on electronic cash, do
always have plan b with money for at least 7 bank days on you.

What about sending a fax order to your own bank, confirming them to send a
certain amount to a bank in the place you are ?

With traveller's cheques this expensive procedure is quite unnecessary.
