Chang_paarp Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I only carry what my wife will give me and never an ATM card -- then I cannot get into trouble and everyone knows it is no use asking me for money. The ladies at the bar now ask me whether I want soda or water. Do you confuse them by saying you want both? Soda water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmanly Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I take cash from the ATM in 2000 Baht hits, and it lasts me a long time as I use a credit or electron card wherever possible. You mean 20,000 don't you? 2,000 would only last me a couple of nights. Nope- 2000 was correct, for my "walking around" pocket money. I'm not a big drinker / bar crawler, so I don't need large amounts of cash. Most of the restaurants and places that I do go will take a credit card. Of course, If I am going out for a night to a place that I know won't take plastic or making some other big purchase in cash, a trip to the ATM is in order to get what I'll need. Bino, good luck to you if you can manage your affairs so well but I am shit scared of using my credit card after I had mine skimmed in Indonesia a few years ago. I went home after a holiday and 6 Months later someone did 3 transactions on my card to the tune of $3,500. It took me 6 Months to clear my name and the debt incurred. The only place I ever used my credit Card in Pattaya was the Sizzler restaurant and I only did it there because the machine was right in front of my eyes and I watched the whole transaction, good luck anyway.
