elgordo38 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I use my Canadian visa card from time to time but am confused which is cheaper? I get the option of paying in Thai bahts or Canadian dollars. Is using the Visa card more expensive than say my Thai credit card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satcommlee Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Stick to THB... its a rip off if you let the retailer do the conversion for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 It's called DCC (Dynamic Currency Conversion). As mentioned, best that it is local (Thai Baht), for best rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allane Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Off topic I know, but as one Canadian to another: Make sure you use your Cdn. credit card at least once per year, if you don't it may be cancelled due to inactivity. Also, the credit card issuer may be unwilling to send a new credit card outside the country, if your expiry date is approaching. Assuming you are already in Thailand, you may want to have someone in Canada call them to clarify some of these details. Don't call them from here; in all likelihood they have call display.
