volstateguy Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I'm arriving in BKK in a few days and will be going to Pattaya, but this is the first time I will be bringing US dollars into exchange. I normally just withdraw from the ATM. I've seen the currency exchange stations in the baggage claim area at the airport but I'm wondering where I will get the best exchange rate. In the airport or at one of the many exchange places in Pattaya. Anyone know where I'll get the best rate? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnerinsix Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Exchange a small amount at the Airport, just enough for what you need to get to Pattaya etc...then when you get to Pattaya, have a look around..... You will do much better "on the ground" than you will at the airport. That has always been my experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabhand Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 OP, I have found Yenjit Exchange to give good rates when changing US$'s into Baht. They have a branch towards the end of Walking Street and also, I believe, a branch near to Immigration in Jomtien. I think you can check their rates on their web page. http://www.yjpattayaexchange.com/4.html However, the effort to locate exchanges with better rates only really matter if you are changing large amounts.

volstateguy Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks for the replies! I'm going to have about $3000 to exchange, so I want the best rate I can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 If you are stopping off in BKK Super Rich (Asoke BTS IIRC) offers very competitive rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
