Credit Cards

I use credit cards in Europe and Asia. When a purchase 'hits' your account can vary a lot. Sometimes several months according to how long the shop/hotel takes to process. Sometimes the same day.

Of course this also depends on the type of credit card account you have. (Credit or Debit) Its worth noting that the amount you can take out in cash is not always the same as the total credit limit for the card.

My Mastercard only allowed me to take a quarter of my total credit limit in cash. This can be changed if you want it. Just dont get caught short of cash and panic becasue you think youve spent too much. That mistake cost me a night on a park bench!!!

I have a lot of business expenses and find the best way to keep tabs of what I spend is to write it down. Takes a couple of seconds if you keep a post-it and pen inside your wallet. Its also gives huge peace of mind and stops all that worry about what you might have left in your account.

Dont ever let the card out of your sight. Someone with the right kit can 'copy' a credit card quite quickly and that same kit might be sitting behind the counter of any bar/resto/shop.

Without sounding like a salesman here you can also get an 'online' account and check things from any internet cafe.

I would say that the ATM's are online. After each withdrawal in Phuket I get a receipt showing the balance of my debit card account in Baht. If you have internet banking and you can look at you accounts online then you can also check the balance of your account.
Plenty of ATMs plenty of internet cafes.
