I was in Thailand a few months ago and I had no problem using an ATM card
and paying cash for everything :-)

Subject: [OT] Apprehensive about a credit card


I'm thinking of getting a credit card for when I go away to Thailand, =

everyone's telling me not to bring a big lump of cash.

The problems I see with getting a credit card are as follows:
1) Ridiculously insecure. Someone can take the card and charge whatever =

they want to it.
2) Might not work... Imagine I got to Thailand, go to buy something and =

get "sorry card doesn't work".

Here in Ireland I can get a credit card that has 0% APR for the first 9 =

months so I'm considering taking it up.

Is there any way I can protect against credit card fraud? Especially =

while I'm in Bangkok!
