I opened a Nationwide Flex a/c for my Thailand holidays and it's been excellent. Never had a problem. I was reading on another board that Siam Commercial Bank (yellow logo I think) have started adding a 20 baht withdrawal charge on to the Nationwide transactions. I know it's a very small amount but thought I would mention it in passing.

antonk, I reckon you'll be happy staying down soi lk metro. Loads of nice restaurants in the surrounding area and a fairly central location in Pattaya.

Anton - I'll be just down the road from you at the Metro Apartments for the whole of October if you want to catch up for a drink - just ask for John from Australia

If you find a great TG that you really like Anton, bring her to the Metro with you. The :bag:man would like to meet her also. :sweat:

Always looking for more wictims to bagman......................



Now he starts on the newbees........... we old guys leart the lesson the hard way.......................................


Anton do NOT bring any girlfriends or no girl at all he will steal here from you in seconds.:hyper2:

scary but oh so true dancing

If you are taking baht with you the best bet is to change your money in Thailand even the airport offers better rates than back at home

in my experience the airport offers a better rate than most places in thailand, but they wont change cheques........only cash......so take a bit of cash with u to change at the airport then cheques for the rest of your stay as u get a better rate for cheques an there safer........
