The Ring of Buddha-Travel tips, Money matters

Money matters

It is best if you take cash with you for such expenditure as drinks, tips, and souvenirs and to keep your travel cheques as security savings. As a rule you should only change your money in banks and hotels, or in a bureau de change. Since there are particularly few opportunities to change your money in isolated areas, it is important to have enough cash at your disposal. Credit cards: American Express, Diners Club, Euro card and Visa are normally accepted. It is almost impossible to pay with credit card outside of the main cities. On no account should you rely solely on your card. In the country itself, the dollar is the most popular exchange currency.
