Mostly I tend to use commission & fee free credit/debit cards when I travel as they give by far the best rate of exchange, using ATM's if cash is needed.

But I suspect that this won't be practical on this tour?

I have heard that in Cambodia they prefer US$ even to their own currency

...and I am wondering about having fistfuls of Dong with a rate of 28,000 to a £1 :dodgy: ...

plenty of opportunity for chaos & confusion on my part I fear.

I know how much is a "how long is a piece of string" question but I wonder if those who have done this tour recently have any advice/tips?

Any advise on the amount and/or the currency to get for the Discover Vietnam tour with Cambodia add-on?

To reply to my own post - as nobody else has - it seems as if ATM/Cash Machines are actually plentiful.

So I'll only be taking a small amount of cash and use Credit/Debit cards otherwise.
