Default Money around Asia

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.

Hello all

I'm going back packing around Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand for 5 or 6
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?

I was almost tempted to do most of it on visa card, but if anything should
happen to the card, then you're screwed aren't you?

I need to get this stuff sorted quickly, as I leave on Sunday, so thanks for
any advice!

Dee

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 ?
