mikey88 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Title is self explanatory… Just wondering. I can Google and enquire but I’d like to know the opinion of some regulars if not too much trouble….. And do any publish their daily rates…?

The Hammer2021 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 We all use Wise but yes there are still banks and money changers here in Thailand lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Of course many changers/booths closed. But in the hotspots still enough to find one in reasonable distance. At least in Pattaya there is no serious shortage. Which area are you interested in? Of course they publish their rates. Few examples. Pattaya: https://ttexchange.com/exchange-rate Bangkok: http://www.vasuexchange.com/ https://www.superrich1965.com/home.php?language=en etc.pp. 5% to 10% worse at airport exchanges. Reminds of a visit to Koh Samui during the worst times (July 2020). On the deserted nightly Chaweng beach rd the only light in the dark was some exchange booth Edited January 30, 2022 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about other airports but Suvarnabhumi has good rates downstairs at 5 or 6 booths as you enter the train area.

That's correct. The area is under control of the state railway, free from AOT (airport organisation). I was referring to the usual tourist traps along the arrival/departure gates.

FolkGuitar Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 As this seems to be posted to the Chiang Mai forum, I can tell you that although most of the on-street money changers are closed, there are a few that never closed, and several more that have reopened recently in the more well visited areas. Personally, I like the one at the north end of Changklan Rd, west side of the street, 100 meters down from Thapae Rd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google maps 18.784054,99.003061 That's SK Exchange at 70 Charoen Prathet (the one way northbound road along the west side of the river, one block over from Night Bazaar) , near Iron Bridge and next to the Reggae Cafe. Super Rich is on Lai Kroh Rd. Both are open and have best rates in town from my experience, (SK a slight edge better) but check on the limited hours and unexpected early closures when business is slow.

Last time I looked there was a Super Rich branch across the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while you're there --- I go to SK because I buy their dark roast coffee beans. Then I cross the street and walk up a block to have a bowl of the best fish ball noodle soup.

spidermike007 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 They are not. In Bangkok, most have closed. Super Rich still has a few locations open. One in the Emporium. Very good rates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirmed as I ride my bike daily in old city---most open during day--slim pickings at night Mr Pierre's on Thae Pae rd seems to have the best rates--blue shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
