What are the best ways to manage money while living in Thailand?

Martin *********

Good thread, pros and cons for cash or card, on my 1st visit I had travellers cheques and lost the lot on the train into Bangkok within minutes of arrival. Luckily I had cards to see me through. Any benefit in wiring yourself money via Western Union?
