Soutpeel Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 On a typical day, leaving the house, unless you work as a money launderer - how much do you carry?Have your cash-carrying habits changed over the years? Typically, THB10,000 to THB20,000, but on ocassion have had k300 on my person, not smart I know... I certainly carry a lot less cash than I used to, but more to do with the Mrs being the "bank manager" these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RakJungTorlae Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I sense something sneaky in this question. And as well there is just nothing left open for any humor. Well doesn’t matter anyway I am afraid to go outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Sorry for the lack of privacy. I tried, twice, to make a poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaimai Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) It's a fair question - I guess it is geared to the fact that the need to carry cash has diminished over the years. In the UK I rarely have more than £30 (1,800 Baht) in my pocket PLUS at least one piece of plastic. Thailand is more cash orientated so I carry more cash - up to 20k (+one card) if I have been to the ATM. Again, in all but the rural areas there is no need to carry large sums of cash - there are ATMs at virtually every 7/11, Family Mart etc.etc Edited October 5, 2008 by Chaimai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendix Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 In my wallet now (a typical day) is 10,700 baht. Three ATM cards, a credit card and my Amex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdinasia Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 When I hit the ATM I typically withdraw 1900 baht for the change issue, When I get down to less than the absolute minimum I will spend in a day I hit the machine again. If I am planning on going out etc I certainly have more on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Rarely more than 10,000 and one local ATM card unless something special is going on. I stopped carrying overseas credit cards as a routine unless I am traveling, no point really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSJ Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I call in at the bank around 1st of the month get 25000 and by the end of the month it has disappeared! So I go back to the bank again! Seeing I pay my bills by DD or card I can never figure out where the cash goes. Is there a wallet fairy that nicks a few bills each month???

Tim207 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 On a typical day, leaving the house, unless you work as a money launderer - how much do you carry?Have your cash-carrying habits changed over the years? I took this to mean how much do I generally have in my pocket for incidentals, not including money I have for a specific purpose such as going drinking or shopping. What the hel_l are you guys buying that you need to carry more than 5000 with you all the time? Admittedly, I live in a low cost area where 1000 baht bills can be hard to break but even going into town I have no need for more than a couple thousand unless I plan to buy something particular.
