Cool Keep the money off shore

What I did was set up an off shore high interest account in Isle of Man and make transfers and withdrawals using an ATM card.I agree with the others -don't bring your full wad into Thailand.
When you get here you can open a local bank account and then direct your off shore bank to make transfers as required.
You will get a better level of interest from off shore banks in IOM or Jersey etc.
