@Nick ******

also remember when you are at the hotel asking for a room you are captive they don't have to give you a discount

@Michael *******

Makes sense.. but the op seems to think if you go direct it should be cheaper... ironically it might be more possible in Thailand then other places.

All the people who are jumping in and saying TIT should know this is the case in the USA as well. Due to the complex pricing..yield demand dynamic pricing..corporate discounts..bulk booking rates.. and individual Hotel cannot often offer the best price since they have to go with their price list. I had her telling telling me to book online to get the best price. This has happened several times when I booked in the US.

The concept of third world no longer exists... everyone has moved on from it.. Try to keep up. It's developed and developing..

Actually it's an interesting idea. My bank in the USA pays the withdrawal fees. The exchange rate is usually good. So it's worth checking the difference overall. Wise charges fees and exchange rates seem similar to what I get with my ATM withdrawals.

Probably since over 90 is a ban for a year maybe anything under or equal to 90 is not subject to a ban. But that's too logical.

This is what I found

No need to worry. Just a few days is not an issue .
