Natlovesherboobs Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 I personally wouldn't travel with that much cash! Especially in thailand! Either get a travel card or they have ATMs but the costs per withdrawal can be like $5 per go. Emma91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabby1 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hi Emma, my hubby carried Au dollars to pay for my boobs, he carried over $8,000 on him but there is no way that l would do that! The rest we loaded on a card. Not sure what cards you have over there but l found a good credit card that you can load your own money on that way you don't attract the fees or interest because it is your own money. Maybe pop into a bank and see if you can get a travel money card or something? Emma91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just no its a lot cheaper to convert over there and im scared to get a travel card and get charged fees and a crap exchange rate Emma91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel81 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hi . I took over cash in my handbag and had no problem. My plastic surgeon accepted Aussie currency and I had a safe in my hotel room. Emma91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just dont want to get a crap rate through a travel card and then end up paying more with fees etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadexo Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 What I'm doing is taking over half in a travel card to withdraw when I'm there and the other half in cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbba Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Open a Citibank plus account, transfer all your holiday / BA money, Barr a small amount of cash to exchange at the airport for taxi/first meal etc, withdraw cash in Thai baht when you hit Bangkok at the Citibank ATM in Centralworld or the big branch at Sukhumvit 21! No fees, fantastic exchange rate, do not have to worry about carrying so much cash until you get there. Keep that Citibank account for the next time you take a holiday!
