What exchange rate would get at BKK moneychanger, and what rate would you get from the German bank? How much would it cost you to transfer money to Germany?

If you can get a better rate from the German bank, would the additional amount you get cover the cost of the outgoing bank transfer from Thailand and the incoming transfer at Germany? If yes, do the bank transfer. If no, change it at BKK.

You might want to factor in the intangible of the amount of time it will take you to get to your German bank from your destination; if it's a hassle, is it worth it to make a bank transfer?

Good luck, enjoy your trip.

#2 via SWIFT.

That is not much $$$ about 3k USD

I would just convert it at the bank & carry it home.

It is definitely more than you have if you pay International transfer fees.

40 bucks USD here or 20 if you use BK Bank N.Y. to trans to Bangkok Bank TL
