Have booked our last two trips ourselves and saved $s, however as you are required to pay a deposit on your accommodation, invariably they want payment via credit card. Given the upsurge of credit card fraud in South East Asia, providing these details to a totally unknown individual is fraught with danger. We have been okay todate, however on our last trip my credit card details were skimmed at the hotel on check in so we wont be using cards any more to pay for accommodation. if your hotel wants a deposit, arrange a funds tranfer via international money transfer or similar via your bank to be on the safe side and pay the balance in cash on arrival.
