Want enough small notes for water, stools, and a tuk without hunting a dead ATM late evening. How much float do people actually carry.

Withdraw this morning and break notes at a shop while they still have change. Evening ATMs near the route disappoint.

Vendors hate large bills mid-parade. Keep a pocket of small notes separate from your card stash.

Budget a tuk or PickMe buffer outside the barrier for the walk-out. Cash in hand beats app surge panic.
