Which T/C to take from the UK?

Can anyone help?
I want to take travellers cheques on our next BKK trip as we always do but last time we were there Euro TC's were not accepted at some of the booths. I can work out the best as far as exchange rates but no point if some are more or less readily accepted on the streets than others. Sterling has been our choice in the past as there's only one rate to consider and they go straight back into the bank if we bring any back.

Take cash. Much easier to exchange.

or just use the ATM.

Amex US$ travelers checks were the gold standard -- but especially Bangkok there's really no point any more, just use the ubiquitous ATMs.
