Funny old world, maybe because it's Saturday.  I went to Gold on Soi Rugland this morning - one of the places advised on here. They only had 100 GBP and 700 Euro's !. Asked me if I could come back tonight. Told them I live by Lake Mab and it's now a 20 minute hike into town. However, they have agreed to phone me for maybe Mon/Tues for the remaining 900 GBP.  I then went to a place I used to use next to Tiffany's on 2nd Rd. Closed!.

 

Just bad/pot luck I guess. There are advantages in living in the city but I just got out as the traffic wascrazy. Tuesday will do. 

 

Welcome to Thailand!  At least you've got their number.  Better luck next time.

If you want to exchange Baht to euro or pound,why you not ask youre friends to do, they can give you the same price from shop/banc somewhere, and have a good price for there pounds or euro, I will do for euro, I see for example Kasikorn charge you 39,43 for 1 euro, so I will give you euros for 39.20,thats a deal for the two of us.

As you are in Pattaya just look around the vast number of excange booths I always use the yellow ones better exchange rates or it was. You can do a thousand in one and then the thousand euros in another they are better exchange rates than the bank for sure.

1) The poster is in Pattaya

2) The poster wants to exchange Baht to Euro and Pound (not the usual tourist job Pound to Baht).

It is not certain that every random booth will sell foreign currency at all.

 

The amounts are uncritical.

I read somewhere at Superrich that from 5000 USD equivalent they have to report.

Have your passport with you.

 

TOPS at corner of Central/2nd road is no more.

 

But does Yenjit exchange on 2nd floor still exist?

Maybe not. Who knows?

 

The one on Walking Street should still exist.

And of course open during the day. Not the best idea to walk the cash in the evening.

I saw them opening another one across Friendship market on south Pattaya rd.

Yenjit is a good starting point to go.

 

TT Exchange seems to have a "main" branch on 2nd rd. (shop).

Always good to have an AC shop instead of standing at roadside.

 

It's here:

TT have a main branch office at the south end of 2nd Road. I can't see them not being able to accommodate these small amounts.

As seen in the picture above (and post #6).

Yenjit in Walking Street is your best bet. Ring them up first and ask for the best rate they can offer, they will negotiate on the amount you mentioned. If you just go to the desk the staff will just use the rates on the board. We exchange there regularly. Chances are they will have the currencies you want on the premises but if not its no more than a couple of hours.
