In Thailand, in the past two years, trav. checks (USD) have given a rate equal to ATM's...without the 2-3% ATM International fee. This works out only if you have a way to get trav. checks free at your home bank. Large denominations are also the way to go (like 500 USD checks).....as there is a $1 (about 33 b -stamp and gov't fee) charge for each cashed check in Thailand.
