Dizbuster,
Good point I don't have credit cards but have a debit visa card(which debits my bank account immediately of the funds)
Now what put me off this way was when in Spain few months back my bank put a block on the card for security reasons simple because I was using it.
I had to ring them up from Spain to get it unlocked this was a major inconvenience and not good.
This has put me off relying on the card.........what if the machine eats the card, what if the bank blocks it? I will take the card as a back up but will use travelers cheque's if not a bit reluctantly.
I'm sure Thailand is a great place but like most places in the world can be the worst place if you have no money in your pocket.
I will take your advice and inform the bank that I may use the card in Thailand hopefully that may help,
Speaking to my bank last time I was told its a automatic computer system that apparently triggers the block on a card when used many times, don't know if that's true or just there excuse to flob me off at the time.
