we normally use all methods, cash & atms being the easiest but we have used credit card many times as well, but be very careful, we received a call from national bank last night telling us someone had tried four times to use our card in uk, as we and said card are in oz they said our card would have been copied in thailand when we were there in april, it is common practice in asia at the moment including bali, we were told its ok to keep using cards as long as you dont let them out of your sight eg:when paying a restaurant bill always follow as it only takes a few seconds for them to swipe your card through small machine that reads the magnetic strip & can then be copied to another card.
just thought this may be useful info for those about to travel, l know l,ll be more aware in the future and at home for that matter.
cheers nikki.
