Travellers Cheques in HK

Hi,

Will be in HK in April. Am just trying to exploit the rather weak exchange rate at the moment and wanted some advice.

One option is to pre-pay the hotel - they're happy for us to do this. The other is to buy the money now & sit on it.

Because i'm going via Thailand, I don't really want to be carrying US$2k in cash, so had thought about getting US$ TC's - what sort of premium would I expect to pay if converting in HK?

Alternatively, does anyone know of a UK issuer of HK$ TC's?

Thanks
