Thanks all. Sounds like an ATM just before we fly back to Thailand could be the best bet if Amex can't help.

Hi JD. I'm not after the actual cash as such. As we all know there is a chance when entering Thailand you may need to show 20k. I'm doing a 2 month tour of Vietnam/Cambodia and I don't really want to walk around with 20k cash so was seeing if I could get travellers cheques instead for when I come back. I can't get them from home as I'm in Thailand already.

Thanks Ron, I'll speak to Amex.

Thai post office?

I'm trying to avoid carrying the cash when I'm in Cambodia - I can't get travellers cheques at home as I'm already in Thailand.

Thanks

- I think I remember reading that CM won't do the 30 days straight off (I.e. If I get my 60 day stamp on a Monday then go to get my 30 day extension on the Tuesday). Am I making this up or is there something in it?!

Ok great thanks - that will suit me just fine! 😄

Getting my METV from the UK I had to provide proof of onward travel within 6 months. I purchased an international ticket just shy of the 6 months mark. In hindsight I would now purchase a ticket that returned me to Thailand the day before the 'exit before' date on my visa (the date 6 months after issue) which would then have granted me a new 60 day stamp on entering.

Thanks Tod 🙂. I think I'll go with the travellers cheques option - I'm happier carrying those around!

It's not an issue of having the money, it's more that I don't want to wander around with 20k on me as I feel that might leave me vulnerable. I had to prove I had money in order to get the visa (£5k). I have a condo rental as well, and wasn't sure what would happen if they asked for the money and I didn't have it on me!
