Patong Bob Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
