we are talking for tourists not Thai families.

Good reply, Admiral. I didn't realize you could change the withdrawal limit. Can it be done at Kasikorn?

$25 is about the same for me or was the last time i transferred.

I'm of a mind to suggest PayPal. Many expats use it. I tend to move money via bank transfers but it does cost for banks to handle it. The larger the sum moved the more minor the charge relatively. The expats living in LOS like joekicker and mm and others will give you the best advice as they undoubtedly do this periodically. Good luck! It is a good problem to have!

I was trying to help the Op to be careful. If you stick to your reply and make it personal that is on you. I WAS trying to help the OP make a sound decision and that includes thinking about who to trust. You, me or any other BM. Again, all anybody has is your say so as to who you are and Pattaya Talk is not necessarily a glowing recommendation but the OP did ask here. I initially said to check Thaivisa - a non-mongering board. I was simply, and in few words, pointing out to the OP to know their contacts. I would have said it about myself too as the OP does not know me from Adam either. It was always to help the OP. You took offense. You talk a good game but I don't know you from Adam. Neither does the OP. Ensuring the safety of one's children with someone is not the same as letting someone borrow your car.

I brink about 3 to 4K usd (more now that the dollar has lost 1/6th it's value since my last trip early last year) in traveller's cheques and use my atm card as a backup. Then I never need to worry about it.

A wild one for sure in Florida but now going back to Boston for game seven. Go Bruins! I think Canucks and Bruins would be fantastic!

Ken, I am a parent. I asked a question any parent should ask. You choose to take it as a personal attack but nobody here knows you from Adam or me. Any parent concerned about his/her child's safety would not take the word of a person they do not know. dirtdwag's assessment is spot on. Sorry, you considered my comment a personal attack. It was not intended as such but merely to point out that your recommendation was worth only your word. You may be the greatest guy on Earth or you could be worse than Harris Black - and there are many really bad guys in Pattaya. If you don't see that logic, than that is on you. The fact you made it about you rather than the situation should be a further gage for the OP as regards your offer of help. seygirl - I hope you at least see what I was getting at. You don't know us and Pattaya with kids is not like going to Disneyland or staying in an American 5 start hotel. There are honest people everywhere but be sure you know who you can trust with your kids. And I have a very good life thank you very much but beyond that your rant got a bit unintelligible the angrier you got.

The roots of anti-Semitism in Europe go back to the middle ages if not all the way back to the Diaspora. You don't know history you only know what you heard or read that resonated with your gut. That does not make it true. It simply fits how you feel. And my mother was born in Germany in 1925. Half of my extended family is/was from there. Trust me you are ignorant on the subject.

A plus for you. You always offer good travel related info.

The Cubs rarely make the post season and the Sharks may lose but the are a playoff team consistently. I live in San Jose so I am a fan. They did not choke this year, they got beat by a superior team. Go Canucks against the East (hopefully Boston).

No offense intended but who vouches for you?

Have you checked at Thaivisa.com?

Phuket would be better with kids.
