Currency Exchange Bangkok

[saintdomingo]

Long, long time since I've changed money here but the place that was always quoted was Super rich and they had branches everywhere. Not the case now, which is the main player lately.

Same. 

Branches (of the orange Superrich) everywhere. 

Best rate in main branches (of the green and the orange Superrich) opposite central world 

 

The green one sometimes has slightly better rates, but not many branches. 

For, let's say 3000 or 5000 USD it's maybe worth it to go the main branch.

For exotic currencies even for less.

+1. 

There are now Superrich booths at some BTS stations. Asoke has one, but as Lorry said, they offer slightly less than the main ones in the sois opposite the northern end of Central World, to the left of Big C when looking at it.

 

There is also another place called Vasu that gives pretty decent rates near Nana Soi 3 I think. It's a while since I last went there.

 

BTW. SuperRichTH and SuperRich have apps so you can check their rates on line on your phone..

Thanks gents, in my experience (or possibly imagination) there used to be a tt at most BTS stations it was puzzling me that I didn't seem to see them anywhere.

Anyway thanks for the help, it's appreciated.

I always used to use Vasu as well.

Sorry - it has been a while.

Search Vasuexchange Bangkok.

 

Soi 7/1 used to be famous for another reason, but the club is not there any more.

Thanks Rhodie, I had 2 weeks there in 75, 3 months in 77. Passed through in 93. 77 was best.

Thanks to all, you may now take a well earned rest.i

Just something to consider about exchange rates if you are an Expat:

 

Trump claims he's going to tax other countries by imposing tariffs (impossible but some are gullible enough to believe it) in the way of imposing tariffs. That is gaslighting at it's best.  What it will result in is a weaker dollar and lower exchange rates for expats and inflation for USA consumers.

Trump’s Plan to Weaken the Dollar Makes No Sense

If/when you arrive to BKK there SuperRich on the lowest level.

They have great rates and also change THB back to Euro & USD, etc w/o robbing you.
