If you get a ride somewhere, it's a good idea to ask the price before hand so you don't get taken advantage of.

Just be careful.
I had completely over looked the idea of ATMs. I used the ATM the whole time while I backpacked through Australia and hadn't thought to ask about ATMs in Thailand.

I will just take out enough money before hand to last me the evening so I don't have to go to one near the FMP. Any idea how it works there? I know in Australia I was charged my banks fee, their banks fee, and an international conversion rate. It only worked up to be roughly $3USD each time total so it wasn't too bad seeing I only took out money 4-5 times in a month span.
