beechguy Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Superrich, as mentioned above, and about 1,000 other times. Vasu on Sukhumvit near Soi 7 is another. Search function usually works reasonably well. Another factor is travel cost etc. not going to do much good to get an extra satang, and spend 300 baht on a taxi Edited July 17, 2015 by beechguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Another factor is travel cost etc. not going to do much good to get an extra satang, and spend 300 baht on a taxi Yes, for the USD the best money changers (Superrich, SIA Money Exchange, VASU) come very close (inverse rates from 33.95 to 34.18 today). 50000 Baht is 1472 USD at Superrich and 1456 USD at Bangkok Bank (my reference). So do the math. http://daytodaydata.net/ Edited July 17, 2015 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornyskunk Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 We should have a forum to match people who want to buy and sell currencies. I would give you a better exchange rate than superrich because I've got dollars and I want baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rak sa_ngop Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 One time I checked out the spread on the US Dollar at Superich. If you changed 100 USD into baht and then immediately changed back into USD you would have lost 5 baht (from 100 USD). The spread does vary but is still very tight and can't be matched by the banks. But if you want clean 100 USD notes there is a premium of about 5 baht per note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't hang around Sukhumvit Soi 13 at night, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAppletons Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Superrich...they have a booth at Asoke now. ...but they don't sell foreign currency at those premises, they only buy. And that makes VASU at the corner of Sukhumvit Soi 7/1 much more convenient for many people. VASU's rates - just now - are better than Superrich. 34.18 to buy a dollar at VASU, 34.19 to buy at Superrich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
