As far as ther UK goes its a bit of a minefield with banks charging for using your debit card abroad. Some will charge up to 2% plus give a bad rate of exchange too, so you need to check this out before using your card in Thailand. As has been reported on these pages previously, Nationwide do not charge you for using your card abroad, but you still have to watch the exchange rate they convert at. For those that do still want/have to use travellers chks Its worth a look here - you can order T/C's and currency online at this link: www.uk.mytravel.com/cgi-bin/mytravel/Homepages/pages/ho

VS01, Its a learning thing visiting Pattaya - no matter how many times you go! I think most guys have a preference on either agogo's or beer bar's. With me it often depends on how hot I am, if I need a cool down its staight in the gogo bars but I do like the more relaxed atmosphere of beer bars. Hope your having a great time there - I just know you will be!

Yep DTAC are pretty good. Used one of their sims in my Nokia without a problem. You can get AIS sims too. Lots of places around Pattaya sell both sims. Try these sites for more info: www.dprompt.co.th/eng/index.htm www.one-2-call.com/One2Call/th/index.html

Yep brought DVD's, software and PLaystation software from there. Good quality in general and well worth a look.
