Money changer in bangkok

[Peter_North]

Dear Bros,

Does anyone know of any spot in BKK where i can exchange baht for SGD. Note it's baht for SGD, not vice versa.

The last time when I was in BKK, I noticed a lot of money changes don't keep stock of SGD. I had 50,000 baht but even Bank of Ayuthaya didn't have enough SGD for exchange.

As we are not allowed to carry out of Thailand more than 50,000 baht I need to change them to baht.

Please don't suggest TT or bankdraft. I want to avoid commission. This time I might need to change 200,000 baht.

Hi Peter_North,

Taking out more than THB50,000 no problem lah. Or you change with me everytime you're in BKK loh. THB50,000 to THB100,000. I need Thai Baht. Fixed deposit rates not bad in Thailand now. Above 5% per annum.

Peter_North,

I suggest Super Rich. A wholesale money changer. This is where all the Airline people and hotels change their money. All currencies, pretty much as muchmoneyas you have as well. I changed about 15000 USD last month in one time. They didnt even batter an eyelid. People queing up to change. Also you get a better rate than any bank etc.

It is opposite World Trade Centre. You go in the Soi where there is a BKK bank branch. Near the Rolex showroom on the opposite side of the street. Pretty famous, just ask someone. Superrr Richhh.

Cheers

Tim
