SWDC Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I'm taking my security deposit from my hotel lease in cash. They wouldn't give it to me as an int'l check or bank deposit. So now I need to find a good money changer. I'll need the money in US dollars. Anyone info please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pj123 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 How much better is the rate compared to a bank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rak sa_ngop Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 How much better is the rate compared to a bank? This site will tell you bank rates. Doubt if you can beat the Super Rich rates at their main location. Other Super Rich locations are still generally better than banks, but not as good as Ratchadamri : http://bankexchangerates.daytodaydata.net/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWDC Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 So is it a bad move to bring your bahts with you to the US and have them changed there? I take it the deal is better at Super Rich? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmine6 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 So is it a bad move to bring your bahts with you to the US and have them changed there? I take it the deal is better at Super Rich? That's the worst way to change money. I glance at the booths at the airports in the US and the rates are maybe 10% worse. Banks might be better if you can find one to change them, but no where near what you'll get in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maizefarmer Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Best money changers in Bkk - Chinese "money dealers" - okay, its all very discreet, but its reliable and the rates are always better than the banks. They also provide a very good "Western Union" transfer service - I use them every month to send my son his allowance in the USA: I give them a cheque (in Loei) in the morning, and the same day USA/West Coast time the money is availible cash in my sons account in CA! - and the cost? - never mind cheaper than Western Union, its no more than if I sent it through the conventional SWIFT/TT banking system.
