Samui, New Exchange Shop For Better Rates

Featured Replies

Hello mates,

I just wanted to inform you, if you regularly exchange some money to Thai Baht, there are two new exchange shop (tiny kiosk)...

It is blue, name is "better rates". And yes they have better rate. Not good as CM and Bangkok's Super Rich but still..

They both are on chaweng beach road on the left.

One Ark bar (I don t know exact distance, can be 2-300m)

One you have to continue on chaweng beach road, 2-300m after it is no longer one way, on the left side also.

Hope I am clear.

I am not affiliate at all to them, hope you don't consider this as advertisement !

Ofcourse you're not. I'm sure the owner isn't a friend either.

Enormously beneficial, thanks.

Thanks, but I stay with Super Rich in BKK, nobody I know has better rates. Will check them out and compare. Hope they change Thai Baht to foreign currency as well.

Not really, all the banks charge different rates and the spread between the lowest and the highest bank exchange rate is significantly large, there's always room for another player to slip into the middle of the pack. Take a look at the attached link and see the differences:

Exchange rate of these blue shops, for notes, are better than banks, yes.

If you have notes to change, best place.

But if you compare these notes exchange rates to TT/ATM rates/wire transfers, your bank offers better.

Very interesting cm but take out super rich and the spread becomes somewhat smaller. This is in the samui forum so super rich is not really an option.

The spread varies based on the currency of course but on the opening page of the link it equals a difference of 15% between the cheapest and the most expensive, even after Super Rich has been excluded!

I know people who make 5,000-10,000 profit a month just by exchanging foreign currency back and forth. Yes, Super Rich is in BKK only, so if you just want to exchange some Baht, then of cause the Samui option is much better.

Samui Coconut, I do this all the day on the forex... Can I be in contact with your friend?

fascinating topic. So there two new exchange kiosks that might save you an extra one baht for every $200 exchanged. Apart from that they are just two more to add to the 20,000 exchange kiosks we already have.

Sorry if i offend but seriously am i missing something?

I knew some were gona tell this :-)

When I exchange 1000usd I prefer getting 30000thb than 29500, yes

And even if diff was 200thb, I would go for the better rate, yes.

Only when I change like 50, 100eur, I go to any.

Samui Coconut, I do this all the day on the forex... Can I be in contact with your friend?

Sure, can make even more....he is doing it just on the side.....
