Thailand Banking and Internet |
It is naturally a good thing to always carry some cash when traveling, touring or on vacation. However, it simply is not necessary to bring too much cash when you travel to Thailand.
Banking services, ATM's and money exchange outlets in Thailand are available everywhere. Drawing money in Thailand is as simple as drawing money in your home country. You can draw Thai Baht from ATM machines which are located everywhere in Bangkok, on the islands and small villages. Master and Visa cards are commonly accepted as are most other major credit and debit cards. Credit card facilities are available at all Thailand hotels and resorts, many shops and also many restaurants. The exchange rate is automatically applied when drawing money from ATM’s and the exchange rate is roughly what you can expect when exchanging anywhere. Money exchanging outlets are available everywhere, especially in tourist areas of the country including the islands, smaller towns and not even mentioning Bangkok.
Thailand internet services and internet access in places like Bangkok, the islands and basically all towns are as available as ATM’s. Most resorts and hotels offer internet services, on average for three Thai Baht per minute. There are also various internet café’s available all over Thailand and all the islands. |
