Bank Or Money Exchange To Change £ Notes?

[pattayadingo]

Which is the better here in Pattaya for changing my £20 notes? Or are they all pretty much the same?

Reason for asking is it is my 1st time to exchange cash in Pattaya. Near Pattaya Klang would be best but not essential.

Thanks

Lately i've noticed that the money exchangers aren't much different to some banks

on their rates.

Banks i would check are Krung Thai on the south pattaya rd, Bangkok Bank, and UOB Bank,

they usually give the better rates for cash than the others.

I always use the money exchange kiosk opposite the Subway on Beach road near junction Soi 11. The rate is only slightly better than the bank but if you are exchanging £500 then it makes quite a difference.

I always use the exchange kiosk opposite the Subway on Beach road near the junction with Soi 11.

Always a few baht more than the bank.

There are two that I use and they are very similar the latter being the best, soi beokow just past LK metro going south on right the is a pharmacy across the road and the best is the gold shop off south pattaya road, going along 3rd road turn left at the juction then take next right (opposite CAT telecom) I think it's called soi rungland and about 10 meters on the left - this is the best I've found anywhere in pattaya

I'm looking to be bringing £1000. That is part of the reason for asking besides not having exchanged money in Patts before. So a couple of extra Baht can make a difference even though £1K is not a fortune.

I appreciate the replies given

This, and to the original poster I suggest bring the largest notes you can get as you get a lower rate usually with smaller notes.

The place on Soi Rungland is called "Bank Gold" and they do have one of the best rates in town. you can call them at 038-42-0097 before you go down to get the rate you are interested in.
