frenchfarangjomtien Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hi, Where is the best rate for money exchange at PATTAYA ? Any place as good as Super Rich Pratunam in Bangkok or is it still the best rate available in Thailand ? Super Rich Pattaya doesn't exist ? Thanks a lot.

PattayaParent Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 There's a Super Rich on South Rd., between the lights and the Wat. At least it has a similar name, might just be a copy cashing in on the original though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 TT seem to have the best rates whenever I look (yellow shop front: 2nd Rd and Soi Buakow). Usually about 20 satang better than the banks' booths. I dont use any exchange booths myself as I prefer to get the higher telegraphic rate and would rather not leave huge sums in a room or bag, for someone to steal or for rats to eat. Hardly a day goes by here without one reading about some clown who has lost several thousand Euros or Dollars in a bag. Never really understood why so many people bring so much cash to Thailand: presumably it is all "black" money that they cant put in a bank at home.

manarak Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Anyone tried Yenjit currency exchange on walking street? They have good rates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBF Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Anyone tried Yenjit currency exchange on walking street? They have good rates There is another Yenjit branch at TOPS on the corner of Pattaya Klang / Second Road. Go up to the second floor and you'll find it near Pattaya Beach Books. Best rate I have seen recently (April) for Baht to USD. The best rates I have found recently (June) for UKP to Baht are either Yenjit or the exchange on Soi Bukhau, almost opposite the end of Soi LK Metro. Don't know its name but a tiny little place with a printed sheet stuck to the glass showing rates. Both this and Yenjit are always better than the banks in my recent experience.

Darrel Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 The best rates I have found recently (June) for UKP to Baht are ..... the exchange on Soi Bukhau, almost opposite the end of Soi LK Metro. Don't know its name but a tiny little place with a printed sheet stuck to the glass showing rates. That place seems to get its rates from TT, of which there is a branch just opposite. Also another branch a couple of hundred yards up the road and two branches on 2nd Rd near the Boat restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleeing Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 In my own limited experience, Bank Gold on Soi Rungland off Pattaya Tai, has comparable rates for cash exchanges to Super Rich 1965 on Ratjdamri in Bangkok. There often seems to be a certain amount of confusion between Super Rich Thailand (best rates) and Super Rich 1965 (not as good but better than the banks). Super Rich 1965 is the one with numerous sub-offices, while Super Rich Thailand has only one office on Rajdamri Road, Soi 1. Both possibilities do consistently offer better cash exchange rates than all of the banks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolley Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 The one on the second floor of Tops is pretty good. Don't just look at their advertised rates thou as I have always managed to get a few points lower than their advertised rates. The more you change the more likelihood of a bigger discount. If you are only changing small amounts a few hundred dollars it hardly matters anyway as the savings aren't worth any extra effort in looking around.
