bridge Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Great website for getting up-to-date rates across all major Thai banks: http://bankexchangerates.daytodaydata.net/default.aspx Average about 28.78 AUDTHB today You will always getting a slightly better baht for you buck from one of the money changers around Suk Soi 3.

Go to a Aeon Atm and get the current best rate. No 150 baht charge. My bank charges a fee of 1%-but that is still better than any exchange on the streets. Exchanges rip you off.

goldfinger Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 My bank charges a fee of 1%-.... OP is talking about CASH, which bank charges 1% for Cash exchange?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capealava Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 My bank charges a fee of 1%-.... OP is talking about CASH, which bank charges 1% for Cash exchange?? If the Op wants to bring cash to Thailand and exchange it at a street exchange that is up to him I suppose. If he brings a Debit card and uses it a Aeon ATM he will get a better rate, since Aeon does not charge 150 baht fee. All bank cards also charge a international exchange fee. My Bank charges 1%. Even with paying the 150 baht Thailand Bank Atm fee charged by all banks whether from a Atm or at the counter, he will probably get a better rate than a street kiosk exchange.

hunglikea Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I agree, use cash and exchange. Better than using an ATM, even AEON. The bank in the home country charges a percentage + a fee. Complete rip-off and most are increasing their rates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
