SidJames Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Which currency exchange gives the best deal around town or is it much of a muchness unless you're exchanging large amounts? Do Monzo cards work in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosLobo Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 NC Plus in Phuket Town 100 metres from Robinson's. NC Plus (Thailand) - Phuket.Net Wise has better rates than Bank T/T.Currency Converter | Foreign Exchange Rates | Wise I think NC Plus might be better rate than Wise but call them to check!

skatewash Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Value Plus at Central Festival in Phuket Town (4th floor banking zone in the old Central Mall Building, standalone booth amongst all the banks).

LosLobo Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Your topic heading is very confusing. Most usually associate TT currency with what financial institutions (Banks Wise etc) refer to as the exchange rate for telegraphic transfer (TT). Hence my response. The company TT Currency Exchange is only in Pattaya not Phuket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometimewoodworker Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Having just visited the U.K. where I have a reasonably large sum for my next years living expenses I researched this carefully. superrich green HQ has a better exchange rate for cash £50 notes than Wise (it is also better than the other 2 big players) however it is minimal (as in ฿1,700 extra in about ฿1,000,000) so it is not worth the bother of carrying about 460 notes to Thailand then 1,000 Thai notes to the bank, along with the expense of getting to the HQ in Bangkok. For much smaller amounts then large denomination notes are an easier way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unblocktheplanet Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Within the SuperRich (I wish!) ecosystem, the best rates are to be found at their head office in Ratchaprasong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstevens Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 This page is quite useful as it has the latest rates from most Thai banks and many exchange services: http://bankexchangerates.daytodaydata.net/default.aspx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three big exchange companies have Head Quarters in Bangkok. So it is virtually certain that Wise will give the best exchange rate. I have no information on exchange rates on any islands.
