Now to answer your ?, we always rent a condo in View Talay 6...right next to Central Festival/Hilton with easy access to Beach and 2nd rds you can be about anywhere in minutes. Can get really nice condos pretty cheap w kitchen and washer/dryer. Just got back from another 3 weeks there Thursday. Think June is next trip...we never get enough of the place, even the 5 weeks straight last summer we didn't want to leave.

I don't agree with any of this nonsense from the OP. Any industry change that makes things "safer" has the likelihood of lower risk for the banks and thus pushing down reward rates. (Note: I could be wrong here and CCC could pass along the lower risk in the form of higher rewards)
Chip and pin will likely result in legislation/regulation that pushes payment processing for CC's closer to debit card rates which is not good for our world.

If you had been reading you would have noted that I called my bank already and it still occurred.

Don't get me started with US Bank. ANY drugstore purchase gets flagged and it takes around 15 minutes to clear up. Occasionally I'll get a text alert from them while I'm already speaking to their fraud dept.

Pattaya is pretty lively. Have enjoyed my last two trips to Thailand. We might get back that way, but next up is Japan, then it looks like a few trips to Europe.
Walking Street was pretty tame last time I was there.

Lol. Have stayed Marriott before, but never even step foot on Walking Street anymore so like a more central location. We spend most nights on Soi 7\8 and Made in Thailand bars, with the occasional jaunt to soi 6 in the afternoon/evening

But did you tell the bank that you really needed to buy all those drugs and that you would be bringing in lots of money to deposit. You coulda got special attention from their AML officer.

The moral of the story is don't do drugs with USBank. No, you want to go over to your grocer and buy plastic produce for the 2x spend category bonus.

While this would be awesome, I can't really think of a way to make this work in practice that would stop the potential fraudster as well. Can you?
