Best US$ to Baht exchange rate in town?

[NanLaew]

Have a buddy inbound who typically brings a wedge of c-notes and smaller bills. He used to keep tabs on what exchange booths were best but it's been a year since his last visit. I heard Yenjit down in WS was good and also the ones with the yellow sign with several locations around the town.

Any updates?

Thanks!

There's a couple of places halfway down Soi Diana that offer good rates. I use them often.

Basically no update.

"TT Exchange" is hardly beaten.

Avoid banks.

It's just that in the meantime a couple of other booths have come up with the same rates.

Differences are in the 5 Satang range (0.05 Baht).

Countless booths around town. No need for long walks or even investing 10 Baht for the bus.

Soi Diana, Soi Buakhao seldom more than 100 m (yards) from one booth to the next.

TT Exchange rate yesterday 36.22 Baht for USD.

Best rate yesterday in Bangkok: 36.28 (for 100 Dollar notes).

50 and 100 Dollar notes give a better rate, preferred.

Avoid 1 to 20 Dollar notes.

Always better to have clean notes, no dog-ears, no scribbling.

Might otherwise be refused.

I agree with KHUN BENQ

Thanks chaps. I will tell him to stick with TT unless he wants to do the extra legwork himself.

a wedge of c-notes and smaller bills

For my own improvement, what are "c-notes", 100 Dollar notes?

From Roman "C" = 100?
