What currency to get for Laos, Cambodia & Vietnam

  • samadam

    I'm travelling to SE Asia shortly for 3.5 months and am confused about what currency is the best to get in advance for travelling in Asia. We're flying into Thailand for a couple of weeks but have been before and are fine with that, but it's then onto Laos, then overland through to Cambodia and then onto Vietnam. What combination of currency & travellers cheques should I take for these countries as we've read here that ATM's in Laos are sometimes problematic and scarce?
    Any advice greatly appreciated!

    Hi there

    I had already read the full article thanks, but it didn't quite answer my question, so I thought I'd ask the question to anyone to see what their thoughts are!

    Cheers
