NCC1701A Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 google and others get weird if you log in to email from Thailand. Be prepared to be challenged with security questions. tell your credit card companies you are in Thailand. bring a pen on the plane for filling out forms. Super Rich is best for exchange rates make sure you know where you want to go and use google maps and save in "my places", because taxi will not have a clue. first day go to soi six, route 69 bar, ask for Tuktik. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Boyd Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 If you got expensive jewellery .. Don't .. Theft of that is not unknown here .. And if you are gonna use ATM's with yo' plastic try and use the one's located within banks in the shopping centres like Centrale .. Drawing cash off some located in the streets can draw attention .. And the girlies .?Personally I'd say enjoy their company and what they might have to 'erm offer ..

Easy, pal. Matty is doing exactly the right thing -- it's called research. Before going into the unknown, bone up on every bit of information you can get so that you are well prepared. He's picking our brains and not been shy about his callowness, and so we're all rooting for him -- until he can do his own rooting, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into a bank to make your withdrawal and it costs you nothing. Uses Mastercard exchange rate which, I have found, usually equals or betters any exchange rate in Thailand. When buying anything on a credit card, always make it clear that you want to pay in local currency, you get a much better exchange rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
