Do take bhat from here at least INR30000 -40000 INR worth of BHAT per person... Enjoy the trip
 
If you have booked hotels via accor then check your account is not suspended at 2 days before checking out of first hotel. You wouldn't be able to pay the remaining bill with points.

Going with wife bro 🙂
 
Take some small THBs as cash but more USD. Convert USD to THB Cash locally in Thailand. You'll get more due to exchange rates.

Can you please explain about this? Why does Accor account get suspended and how to avoid this?

Basically they think that someone is trying to steal your account and they suspend it to protect you. You can prevent this by not using your app from new places. Simply take a screenshot of your card from app and keep showing it to their restaurant staff to avail discount and uninstall the app completely. If your account get suspended you will not get any message or alert in app.
 
Thanks for inputs shared. I am there from 23rd early morning to 31st evening.
  1. Any suggestions on places to visit in Bangkok & Pattaya?
  2. Planning of doing Bangkok & Pattaya only since flights from Bangkok to Phuket are costly- probably due to Christmas & New Year. Am I missing much?
  3. Any suggestions for hotels in Bangkok & Pattaya which are decent (nothing fancy but decent hotels at good price)
  4. Tips to tackle scams, frauds, etc.
