Reminbi - Where To Buy In Thailand

[SNGLIFE]

Anyone know WHERE to exchange to Reminbi? No FOREX replies, please.

"The renminbi is circulated in some of China's neighbors, such as Pakistan, Mongolia and northern part of Thailand. Cambodia welcomes the renminbi as an official currency and Laos and Myanmar allow it in border provinces."

Hong Kong, Macau and Mainland China are the only places where i have seen FX booths with buy/sell rates on CNY.

If in Chiang Mai go to Chinese moneychangers. Probably something similar in Yarowat section of Bangkok.

In Bangkok, I believe reminbi are availabe at exchange shops around Sukhumvit Soi 3.

mate of mine just baled out of china a couple of weeks ago and came over to stay with me to 'settle down' - he had a very bad experience and his mate even got locked up for a few days for being in possession of counterfiet RMB. He had been done over by a cab driver apparently who did the old David Copperfield trick on him.

Caused him alot of grief. From all accounts, the way I hear it, the place is flooded with fake RMB at the moment.

So, I would be very careful when seeking to buy RMB.

I'm not sure why there was any need to find a wiki definition of RMB. Regardless, many currency exchanges in BKK both buy and sell RMB notes, including Superrich and X (located near the Narathiwas and Silom intersection).

As other have noted, there are a lot of counterfeit RMB notes around - many people in China actually get them from a bank ATM. If you're looking to get a better exchange rate, you should go to China, and not use THB. Only a few banks in China accept THB.
