loveless

cool! thanks billions, Billions! your link so useful! Dude, or anybody else, is it better to bring traveler checks or cash to deposit? sorry for all the questions but i just quit the credit card habit and i am going through withdrawal... i do cash now. all the dam time! love...

thanks too_mutt, Jacko...is there a Kasikorn bank near Mike's mall, close to LEK hotel?

don't know if this has been addressed before in other threads, if it has, my apologies for being too lazy, drunk to look. i often vacation in Pattaya. last i was there, i had my credit cards filched! it was simply a pain-in-the-ass to remedy the issue... as a result, when i arrive in Pattaya next week, i seek to open a Thai bank account, dump a wad of scratch into it, get an ATM card that will be operational throughout the Thailand and maybe as far as Cambodia and Vietnam...oh, i possess no work permit, be there for about a month... pray tell kind people, is that possible? please, can i do that? i love you.
