tonray Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Thousands of expats here. Just don't be so careless with your wallet. Never keep all in one place. 1 card in wallet with some cash. 1 card stashed in room with rest of cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostnigel Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Both mastercard and visa have emergency cash advance facilities.what do you mean?Basically, I think what he means is, don't be daft enough to leave the phone number of your bank in your wallet that will be stolen, with all your money and your Visa or Mastercard inside it. Am i right Mr Blackjack? Or maybe he should stay home, he's not quite ready for the likes of Pattaya yet.

changnoi101 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 For emergency i have online access to my Bank account at my home country and transfer some money via Western Union. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxout Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) And keep copies of your passport, visa, driver's license and other ID/important papers in secure online storage, so you can access them if you lose everything. Of course, it's also a good idea not to keep all your important things in one spot, so if there's a problem it's less likely you'll lose everything.

Pib Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Contact your home country bank to see what their emergency cash procedure is for your lost/stolen card/cash--Banks will have different procedures. Just for example, below weblink overviews the Dancke Bank procedure. https://www.danskebank.co.uk/en-gb/Personal/Day-to-day/foreign-exchange/In-an-emergency/Pages/If-you-need-currency.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhizBang Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Make sure you inform the credit card companies of your travel plans. That would include your destinations, probable dates and potential uses (ie: hotels, airline tickets and restaurants). If you plan on any large purchases, inform the CC companies too. They tend to view large, above normal, purchases in Thailand as potentially fraudulent. Oh, and never carry your passport on your person. Keep it in a secure location, but DO carry a copy that shows your ID page, visa and entry stamp. Edited April 24, 2016 by WhizBang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 ...why does this question seem a little strange..... I'm still trying to figure out "or have to close them" and if he's been to Pattaya 5 times why this has suddenly become a concern. if i loose my credit cards or have to close them If you "lose" the cards, you should immediately inform the credit card companies and request their assistance changing the account numbers and asking them for help getting emergency cash. If you lose everything and have no ID, that might put a spanner in the works. You'd need a police report and to make a visit to your embassy. Travel insurance can be had that offers emergency cash. Of course some people have reportedly falsely claimed to have been robbed and filed police reports in order to get insurance payments. It hasn't always ended well.

Ulic Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Their were some fraudulent on line credit card purchases charged to me last month. I received an e-mail alert to contact my banks visa department. After a 5 minute conversation (plus call answer wait time of 67 minutes) my card was cancelled by the bank and a new card on the way to Thailand. Three days later it was in my hand. My advise is call your bank and have new cards sent ASAP. No financial cost to me, just my time waiting for my call to be answered. I used SKYPE to their 800 number so no charges there either. While in Thailand I split my credit cards and bank cards into two different locations so the likelihood or loosing them all at one event is remote. (to different bank cards/accounts, 4 different credit cards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowgard Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Both mastercard and visa have emergency cash advance facilities. what do you mean? You can get a express emergency credit card in 24h. https://usa.visa.com/support/consumer/lost-stolen-card.html Otherwise you can call your bank and ask what can do (Western Union Transfer) or visit your Embassy. They will contact your bank and arrange a payment to you if you have money in your account. Otherwise they tell you <deleted> off!!!

1FinickyOne Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I keep my wallet in my front pocket and have never had a problem. I also don't drink. If you don't know what the poster means about the "likes of Pattaya" - the nature of Pattaya, then you must learn to be very careful there in particular, as there are more than plenty of thieves especially on the lookout for a drunken fellow who has become vulnerable. You should alert both your CC company and your local bank manager that you will be in Thailand. I think with minimal precautions you should be fine. Enjoy your travels...
