hi, i read through all of this tread and wanted some clarifications from those who know and also to summarize.

it seems as if amex t-cheques are the best things to use in thailand, as they have a flat fee to exchange. the airport exchange rate is not as good as inside the city. however, might be the best way to get cash at the airport to pay for the taxi.

unless using an atm card that reimburses the 150 baht (ie schwab,etrade), there will be a card 150 fee. there is an option for those who come frequently to wire money and start an acct there.

so, my question is: what would you suggest that i do on my honeymoon for cash. I believe its best to buy t-cheques and have them exchanged once in the airport for cash, then in the city again. i could use an atm and just exchange it once for a large sum (not sure if i want to carry that around).

Thanks in advance. Im going to be on leaving for my honeymoon next week.
