October 12, 20223 yr I want to exchange THB for AUD, what's currently the best exchange place to buy (not sell) foreign currency? There was a good one just next to Starbucks in Central Festival, but is still closed. BetterRate is not giving good rate....
October 12, 20223 yr If passing through Suvarnaphumi Airport, the EX kiosks next to the Airport Rail Link entrance give excellent rates. The upstairs ones do not.

The upstairs ones do not. Totally agree with Dave. On the island, I use Bank of Ayudhya. The exchange places are not as competitive as they were. In Bangkok (Sukhumvit) I use vasuexchangedotcom At the airport (train station) I use superrichthailanddotcom The last two offer similar rates. It is just down to convenience.
February 27, 20233 yr Author I have relatives visiting me now and had a look at the exchange boots along Chaweng beach road to exchange a few hundred USD....most of them are buying at 32 and sell at 35. Haven't seen such wide margins before. The greed is taking over Samui.
February 27, 20233 yr Always Superich, Superrich Thailand or Vasu, better than anywhere including banks

I found Bank of Ayudhaya to be better than all booths in my area. https://www.krungsri.com/en/exchangerate/Todayrates U.S.A. USD 1 33.97000 35.35000 34.72000 34.82000 35.32000 U.S.A.

Never had any problems with Wise, or even when it was Transferwise. Do monthly transfer to Bkk Bank for Immigration, which arrives next day as a Foreign Transfer, and my on recent trip to Dubai, I never touched any Dirham, simply tapped my Wise Card. Had a slight problem with one transaction which was sorted by their 'monkeys' within 24 hours. I get good exchange rates in both cases.

Haven't seen such wide margins before. The greed is taking over Samui. Cash money is becoming less attractive, high expenses to sit on them; at least one European currency is even difficult send back to the country of origin due to whitewashing fear, so the present exchange rate in Thailand to buy this currency in cash is between 50% of official rate and 0, like in "zero"...
