thairookie Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I plan to change some MYR and bring the MYR out of the country. Perhaps about 200,000 baht, but that alone we are looking at more than 200 pieces of MYR 100 notes. Apparently that is the biggest denomination, and I wonder if Immigration will raise a voice on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How large is considered large ? I always go to another shop called Grand Super Rich. I'm not sure if they belong to the same company, but the rates are exactly the same.

SunLover2 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 For this amount I would suggest going to the main SuperRich branch on Rajdamri Road. From what I have read they give a slightly better exchange rate there vs. the numerous satellite locations. YMMV. SunLover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunLover2 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 For this amount I would suggest going to the main SuperRich branch on Rajdamri Road. As I thought about this - if I was going to make this sized exchange it might be worth it to do some due diligence. I always exchange my latest issue and pristine $100 USD bills with the arab money changers in lower Suk between soi 3 and 5. I have found they provide very competitive exchange rates and consistently beat the rates offered at the SuperRich kiosk at the Asoke BTS. Might be worth some investigation. I would just swing by and tell them what you want to do. No harm in asking. SL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baa_Mango Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 keep in mind main SR branches will give better rates than BTS/Satellite branches (as noted above.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siam2007 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 it certainly makes sense to call ahead if you want to Exchange 1.000.000 $ into Baht or vice versa. I have seen this happenening with my own eyes. If you exchange huge amounts, you will not do this in their regular outlet. you will be guided to a small hidden office, very discrete. At the SuperRich main office near Central world / Khlong SaenSaeb I have seen the largest amount of cash I have ever seen in my life. I was waiting to do some transaction too, and another (THAI) customer there changed hundreds of Millions of Baht. Seriously. It must have been more than a boot of a regular saloon car can carry, all bundles of 1000 Baht bills. so, to answer your question, YES you can probably change any amount you want. The reaction of the custoim or immigration when you leave Thailand and enter another country, now that's another story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigar7 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) In Bangkok, also try Siam exchange near MBK. They have had some currency rates better than superrich head office rate. For example today 23MAR 8PM USD$100 notes are Siam 3,248 Superrich 3,247 Edited March 23, 2015 by cigar7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know there are 2 Superrich brands - a green one and and red one. The one @ Asoke is the red one. It's the green one that offers better rates, but there is now another one called Grand Superrich which is further inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use superrich international exchange 1965 Head Office (Rajdamri Road), orange sign. Both siam and superrich1965 post on the internet.
