Hi All,

as a former banker with a finance background, this is deeply shameful and an all time low in my life. I hate cash - so I spent it all and then tried to get more with my HSBC MC. "Call issuing bank" - I did that - and was told, that's it. So I missed the check out deadline at the hotel and went to the bank again. the same!

I feared to return empty handed. - And didn't. So I haven't showered in 29 hours and am pennyless. Technically, I still have money in the bank though.

1.) The Tourist Police wouldn't let me make any calls - I hoped for the Embassy (had e-mailed them) or the bank (collect? Had a new mobile phone as collateral for paying the maybe 8 min a 7 Baht call). 2.) Other banks either. 3.) My flight to L.A. departs on the 19th and I wait for a 2nd passport with a VISA to be mailed to this hotel (Little Court, Soi Buakhao, 160 Baht/night).

I don't dream of even trying to tell this tale of stupidity and recklessness to them - I'm a landlord and know the tales :-)

Is there anything you would suggest? I'm fat, so going a few days without food will do me good. but otherwise, I'm nearly despairing. ** Is it Friday the 13th? Is jail in my future? This is scary! I never imagined I would have this kind of an issue!!!

maybe he's better off being deported ... bwahahahaha

regardless of what province you are in 1222 are the magic numbers
