Hi Mike1963

Agree with Daleyboy, Nationwide Flexaccount for fee free withdrawals from Thai ATM machines. However they do make charges should you wish to transfer monies from bank account to bank account. Think it is £20 a shot regardless of amount.

With regard to Thai banks I have found Kasikorn to be most helpful and have arranged transfers going from LOS to UK with minimum of fuss.

If we are talking about transfers then i use Natwest, they charge £15. But really i do try to avoid this option. Why should i bloody pay to move MY money around they are all a bunch of bar stewards

Yes i know i am clever, modest as well

You would have to be brave to carry large sums of money, travel insurance will normally only insure small cash amounts, added to the fact you will still have to pay commisson charges on changing money. If you go the flex account root, then you can withdraw so much each day and then pay it into a Thai account.

See i am not just a pretty face

I am brave! grrrrr lol

I am brave! grrrrr lol

And all the ladies say i am handsum man

LLOYDS TSB has a deal for up to 1,000 pounds, but in addition to their 10 pounds fee coms normally also the receiving bank's fee :-( Sending travellers cheques ordered at HSBC.co.uk is another option (the best exchange rate I found for AMEX TCs, no affiliation). but then you need to fill the cheques out completely and send them by recorded delivery.

I am brave! grrrrr lol
