Exchanging USD for THB

Post by Taf in Cha-am »

Hi All- I recently arrived in the area for three weeks of R&R, and I'm looking for the latest and best advice for exchanging USD for THB.

I've heard from folks here in Cha-am that the exchange rate is better in HuaHin, enough to make the trip worth the time and effort.

Is this true? If so, I'd be grateful to be pointed in the direction of the place that most consistently has the best USD>THB rates.

Many thanks in advance!

The best rate I found so far is at "Twelve Victory" situated at Market Village Hua Hin.
There's one in the basement, as you're at the front of MV just down the stairs or another one on the third floor

Unless exchanging a massive wad, I'd doubt it would be worthwhile travelling to Hua Hin just for the exchange. However, Hua Hin has many other delights :D.

If you are coming, I would suggest heading for 12 Victory in Market Village.

Ditto, also used them to buy dollars, their rate was very close to the XE.com one. Avoid the banks.

Taf in Cha-am,
just in case you are passing thru Suvarnabhumi Airport next time Super Rich have a 24 hour kiosk way downstairs near the train stop.
They have the best rates I've come across that I've found so far.
Complexity is so simply overrated
