I'd recommend you pick up a fat wodge of Thai Baht before you leave so you don't have to worry about changing money straight after a lengthy flight.
US dollars won't be excepted locally in leu of Baht (unlike Cambodia, Laos, Viet nam etc...)
You will have a brilliant honeymoon. I did exactly the same trip as you last July, staying for 5 nights in the Shangri-La, Bangkok and 9 nights in the Sala Samui in Choeng Mon Beach in Koh Samui.

errr - you are going to Thailand therefore you will need Thai Baht [THB]. Suggest you change some up at Heathrow before you leave and then just get money out at ATMs as you need it. Learn your 65 times table as that is the exchange rate! But roughly a 200baht note is �3.
Who ever suggested changing � into $ and then changing that into THB is talking rubbish [IMHO...]!
Enjoy - a wonderful country - and if you can manage it go and have dinner at 'Cabbages and Condoms' - just off Sukhumvit and a great restaurant!
