Anywhere in Chulia Street (main street in Georgetown) you will find moneychanging shops - ask a few and you'll get a good rate. Also they will help with six or twelve month visa. 12 month visa charge is 5.000 baht atthe Thai consulate. The moneychangers will want 500 baht on top. They are very successful too.

Just a thought. Been there five times now.
