bobobo Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I'm going to Seam Reap for a couple of weeks. Need to buy US dollars as that's what counts in Cambo. What's the smartest and cheapest way to do it in Pattaya ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaywardWind Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I have no idea which bank/exchange office gives the best rate here but as an alternative, ATMs in Cambodia dispense USD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threelegcowboy Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Get a bunch of $1,$5 etc in Patters, Bank Gold or yenjet is good, also get enough big money to get you settled in Cambodia. Then use ATM in Cambodia to get more as needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tropo Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 TT Money Changers are the best place for the best rate and they're always happy to sell foreign currency. They're the bright yellow booths. There's a couple at the start of 2nd Road on both sides of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoboi Bebobp Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 You will get a much better rate for your Thai baht>US$<baht with the money changers around the Central (New) Market (Psar Tmei) and St. 136 in Phnom Penh, compared to Thai banks especially. The money changers closer to Sorya Shopping Centre, 2 minutes from Central Market, tend to be a bit less generous. The one I use all the time is on St. 136, which starts on eastern edge of the Central Market circular road. (The market is the giant, bright yellow and white building.) He has streetside kiosk on the south side of 136, right at the corner of St 53 (Calmette). This is also Pharmacy Street. Very cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 One more thing, don't get any tears or rips in the higher denominations (like 20, 50 or 100 USD Notes) as the Cambodians don't like it and most will not accept it anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
