Bring cash from overseas to Thailand

[bbi1]

If bring cash from overseas (not Thai baht) to Thailand, would it be best to exchange the cash to Thai baht at Super Rich then deposit the baht in Kasikorn bank account or just deposit the unconverted cash directly at Kasikorn?

Don't mean to pry, but how much cash are we talking about?

SuperRich will give you the best exchange rate, but if it's not a lot of cash, might not be worth the bother. Just do it at the bank. Depends on the amount.

Say around $1k-$2k roughly.

If you get another 1% from vasu or superrich that is an extra $20 usd on exchange of 2 k usd....rates here for vasu...convenient location on soi 7/1 if you're in lower suk.

safer to put the money in a pre paid atm card and take it out as you need it

I'ts only 1500 euro. I would not be bothered about safety, or the cost of a few beers at most.

1500 euros? I think you are being overcharged for your beer.

The Kasikorn exchange rates are not good. I brought cash over,exchanged it at a booth I know was good and then deposited it at Kasikorn. I think the difference is approx 1%

Exchange at VASU, then deposit. As others have said, it's probably only $20 or so but why give that to a bank when you can keep it yourself with minimal effort?
