sunoco27 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) This coming week or next I need to get 35,000 Thai baht exchanged to US Dollar. Can I go there any day without notice? Is there any problem with them having enough US Dollar on hand? Any days of the week or time of day better than others? What are there business hours?

Ulysses G. Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 They don't always have enough dollars on hand. I usually have them call me when they do and then swing by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The chances that any single bank branch or currency exchange in Chiang Mai has USD 10k on hand is remote in my experience, typically they need to be given notice so it can be aggregated. Two years ago in Bangkok I had problems trying to gather GBP 5k, it took almost eight days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
