We are frequent visitors to Thailand. These days we always take cash which we keep in the hotel safe and change at the authorized agencies as we need it. We also take a credit card for back up.

Can also lock in your suitcase if no safe is available.

I bank with Nationwide and used mine when I visited Thailand in March/April so I will check my statement and get back to you with exact charges and currency conversions

We know the charges etc. Clearly stated on the website.

Thailand is the one place I still take travellers cheques to. You get a decent rate and have the security t/cs offer.

You can get £ t/c's commission free from Lloyds TSB even if you don't bank there.

I meant for the average tourist. Many won't want to make a special journey.
I always make a point of knowing where they are before I arrive.

Unfortunately, none at Suvarnabhumi(sù.wān.nā. pʰūːm).

So I usually have cash to tide me over until I can get to a machine.
