Foreign Exchange card for visiting multiple countries
Hi,
From India, I am visiting Singapore,Thailand and Indonesia , As all are having different currencies , which foreign exchange card(VISA prepaid kind of) should I buy ?
I mean would it be effective to pay in USD or at each place their local currencies(exchange at airport or from India ?)

Im not sure about buying prepaid exchange cards since I just use my CC's that have No Foreign Fees.
you can find the thread about DCC (dynamic currency conversion) and it will explain why you always pay in local currency.
The merchant makes money by having you pay in in USD
