Phone call off my bank fraud team this morning informing me that my bank card that's in my wallet had been used to gain substantial amounts of money last night in chiang mai unlucky it was declined always use ATMs in banks fellow board members.
Yeah that's fine if you're just going patts for say a 2/3week trip and it can be put straight into the safe but I was travelling for 6 weeks and didn't fancy carrying hundreds of thousands of baht around with me.
