I have not been able to figure out how to pay off a cash advance "immediately" and never get stung with interest. I suppose it is possible if you spend a lot of time online monitoring your accounts. Not my idea of vacation fun ...

As to idea that there is a flat rate fee of 78 baht for cash advance ... what bank and credit card is this? What about the forex conversion fee on top of the cash advance fee? Most banks are nicking their customers for around 3% for each for a minimum charge on cash advance exclusive of interest of around 6%.

Please let us know where to get this 78 baht flat rate card. I need one.
