159. Spend All your Foreign Cash before Returning Home
Foreign money looks pretty but it’s pretty useless when it just sits around in your desk drawer back home.
It’s called the Cash Game and everyone plays it on the last day of their trip. The object of the game, quite simply, is to spend every last baht before getting on the plane. There are two ways to lose: #1. Under-budgeting, forcing you to make one last stupid trip to the stupid ATM on the Khao San Road so you can afford the stupid cab fare to the airport and #2. Over-budgeting and shamefully having to visit the currency exchange kiosk and getting jammed on the rate. Don’t let this happen to you. Spend wisely.
* Remember to save enough coins in your money belt for at least ten minutes in one of those airport massage chairs. You’ll be glad you did.
