Currency Exchange - Brazilian Reals

[kbelyeu]

TV,

I have some Brazilian Reals to exchange. Any suggestions of where to do this in Thailand specifically Pattaya or at the airport.

Have you tried any of the (many) currency exchanges and see who will take them and at what rate..............?

Along Soi Buakhow you will be falling over them for example

If no joy then try some of the larger bank branches (although I note it does not appear in SCBs list online of foreign currency exchange rates).

If you're flying out to a European city or places like Hong Kong (since you mentioned the airport), you'd be better off holding on to them until you get someplace where there's a better volume of trade in the real. It's not going to be a high demand currency here, so even if you find some place willing to buy them, the spread is going to be wide and they'll be bought at a steep discount since the dealer would probably end up sitting on them for a long time before they'd be sold.

it's because BRL is a highly restricted currency.
