Travellers cheques or cash?

Travelling to Phuket next week..have some $US travellers cheques.



Is it better now to take AU$ cash and change to baht in Thailand..or..cash US$ T/Cs to baht??



Aus $ is good value atm, not sure about US$.



Thanks, and cheers

You are wasting time and money changing AUS$ into US$ T/cs when AUS$ t/cs are easily changed here.









To clarify..I have some US$T/Cs from another trip, not bought for this Thai holiday.









Bring them along - normally get better rates with TC. :)









Thanks for the replies, folks.



Appears there%26#39;s only about 10% difference in baht between US$ / AU$, comparing dollar for dollar. Not long ago would get much more for the US$



Whatever..I%26#39;ll be spending, regardless..



Cheers!









If you want to get rid of your existing $ TCs then bring them along. I would not specifically buy them.
