is it best to change thai baht into aussie dollars before I leave ?

is it best to take US$ and change them into aussie dollars on arrival ?

Thanks for any advice ...

change Thai baht into aussie dollars before you leave - poor exchange rate for Thai baht in Australia

buy AUD at Superrich, before you go...http://www.superrichthailand.com/editor/rate.html....

Maybe you can get the information required from this thread from 2 weeks ago ... Changing Bht Into $Aud ... lots of helpful replies there.

Another vote for Superrich. You'll get a good rate there.

Money changers in Oz charge some fat fees.

When I was leaving the country I had a few $$ left. Went to an exchange window at the airport and turned out the fee was more than the amount I wanted to exchange -- I would have owed them money! I went and spent it on sweets instead.

BTW, I've been stuck with a few hundred Fiji dollars for the past five years, forgot to change them while in Oz. No place wants them.
