Been going 35yrs. If in Bangkok Superrich is ace, if in Pattaya only use T.T Currency they're the best, in yellow booths, be careful must say T T Currency some yellow booths not T T.
Yesterday I had that question where it is better to change money in Thailand when I go, then today this video appeared in my notifications. My vacations to Thailand is very close.♡♡
Thanks, Fantastic video.I subscribed some time ago and, to me you are one the best,if not the best, giving info about many important things in Thailand. Sort and precise. 💯
This year I used SR in Silom, Passport copy was enough, I missed the outdoor counters on many banks, closed since Covid?? Anyway, normally I prefer cash to pay. 😊💰Thank you and stay safe 🙏🏼🇹🇭
This was one of the most important vids. I emphasize alot of people to pay attention for sure. I would love a vid on the spending of the baht and getting back change and how to use different credit cards there especially if they are from another country. Also, spending baht by denomination is interesting to see. I am just as interested seeing an episode where you get fitted for a suit a good suit shop in Thailand as I like to be tailored on nights out sometime.
Thank you sir. U are really helping us a lot. Before we travel to thai atleast we are aware of the things you haved informed us and how to go about. Thks once again. 🌹
Is it better to cash out/exchange using atm? My card has no fees for international transaction, only the service charge of the atm machine which is 200baht. If i withdraw a max. amount for one transaction am i going to save more? Thanks.
You need to tag the locations with Google map, we have no clue where those locations are. Google map give you longitude code , you can put them in the video description or as links
I got a revolut card and put 20,000 baht on it which is a £500 British pounds for the Same amount I would only get 16,000 in a travel agency or foreign exchange shop
@@LiveLoveThailand almost impossible as I said before. , You need visa to open account but you need account to get visa .. dunno 🤷♂️ Agents can help this but I do hear some tourist places are more relaxed on rules
the airport exchanges downstairs are in fact the safest places to exchange money and the best place to exchange large sums cause they have the funds, just try to exchange 5-10,000 dollars at the TT exchange on the corner, 555
Hi Arsen. Love your vlogs. Just caught your latest vlog on shopping in MBK...very informative and good... Thanks. I am from India and planning to visit Bangkok. My question is will I be able to convert Indian Rupees to THB in bangkok city or do they only accept USD. It becomes a tremendous pain to first convert INR to USD and then again to THB, not to forget the loss too. Any advice on this would help. Thanks
I was in Thailand last week where I stayed for 2 weeks, 1 of them in Bangkok. As suggested in the video, I exchanged money at Sukumvit Arab Soi 3 and they actually have a much better exchange rate than the super rich which is less than 300m away. I managed to do everything 2 times spending less than 5 minutes each. Thank you very much for the video and the information!!!!! Just as a tip, maybe it's worth putting the exact address on google maps as I had some difficulty finding it with just the information posted.
@@catherine_roblox-tb8ki At Arab Soi you basically get no lines and better exchange rates compared to super rich. On top of that, they ask you only your passport to complete the transactions.
I opened citibank checking before I came to Bangkok. There is citibank in Bangkok. Citi does charge exchange fees. Also I opened bank of America credit card, they had a promotion giving me 20000 points if I spend $1000. I was able to get round trip to Vietnam for $650. Instead over $900. Plus no foreign transaction fee. So I used bank of America credit most of times. There are many other credit cards have no foreign transaction fees. In my opinion, no fee credit card is best to use when traveling..
Arsen I have been changing my currency at soi Arab for about 10 yrs at the same shop where you went on this video there are two lovely ladies who always smile and give great rates.
I have had a Thai bank account for about 15 years. I used to work in Thailand. As a result I can just transfer money from my US bank online to my Thai bank (SCB) with no fees and the proper exchange rates. Then I use my SCB ATM card. No fees.
Do not, under any circumstance, bring cash to Thailand to exchange. Yes, you can get a good rate. But if you lose it you don't have insurance and it's gone forever. Use an ATM card on a good bank or credit union that reimburses ATM fees.
I thank you for your information just wondering though I'm Canadian citizen Animal House Canadian money is it easier to bring Canadian money or should I exchanged into American money? Plus I will be going to Pattaya so will not be going deep into Bangkok to exchange money as most likely I will be catching a bolt from the airport in early hours of the morning
Hi Arsen, sorry I deleted my post as I ended up finding the location from a landmark and googled that hotel name opposite that Soy. FYI going to be in BKK next month. Thanks for the tip.
Hi Arsen, so a couple of things...are the exchange rates better in Bangkok or Pattaya? I also wondered about the maximum amount of cash you can bring I into Thailand, I thought you said that you can bring as much money as you want but I don't think Thai customs would allow me to bring 1 million United States dollars into Thailand. So what is maximum amount of USA dollars I can bring into Thailand? How much money can you withdraw from an ATM in one transaction? Thank you
@@ghoorasahejahan6818 Thailand is the favorite Country for tourists most of them are well known Banks even some are not they must have a license from government to open these don’t worry it never happened .Remember choose the big company if you worry welcome to Thailand.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm from the United States and 1 baht is about .03 usd. And since we are talking less than half a baht per dollar we are really talking about .01 per usd. I think time and convenience should be your determining factor
The places he showed are 34.2 versus 34.68 for the USD so if you are changing 500 USD it is about 240 baht difference but the higher rate is very central in Sukhumvit. a bank rate or other exchanges are probably a lot lower than 34.2 as well. But for small amounts it does not make a huge difference.
My Mamaw is from Thailand and my Papaw is from America which means my mom is 🇹🇭 🇺🇸 and my dad is from Philippine which means I’m 🇹🇭🇺🇸🇵🇭 but people think I’m from Thailand but I am from Australia and watching this vid makes me wanna go to Thailand with my Mamaw also the only thing about me that pretty much doesn’t fit in Thailand is that I have grayish eyes
Guys it's not only one shop, you just enter sukhumvit 7 or 3 and walk inside the soi, you will see more than 10 shops ask which one is the best rate and go for it, the one I have exchanges is called Dubai exchange its between soi 7 and 3 . Good luck ve safe
card machines are a rip off dont use them you get charged in thailand for withdrawal and again in your own country plus a crap baht rate
That's why swipe out a huge amount the losses will be less
Can you do a video on SIM cards and eSIMS and best networks in Thailand and where to get them, etc??
As someone who is headed to Thailand for the first time, your videos are a great source of information.
Been going 35yrs. If in Bangkok Superrich is ace, if in Pattaya only use T.T Currency they're the best, in yellow booths, be careful must say T T Currency some yellow booths not T T.

TIP: Only use the ATM once to get all the cash you need! Otherwise each withdrawal you are charged 220 baht! 😄

Atm at banks is a good option too I think
Thank you! You have made up my mind. I will be getting my Thai cash here in Australia before I go. 😆
Have fun!

Good choice Mohammed
I like your video. Where is the best place in Pattaya to exchange money? Thanks.
Many shops on the beach road and soi bukhakho so don't worry 🙂
I looked on the Thailand government Web site and it says only 20.000 thai baht can be bought into the country but you say any amount
I have had a Thai bank account for about 15 years. I used to work in Thailand. As a result I can just transfer money from my US bank online to my Thai bank (SCB) with no fees and the proper exchange rates. Then I use my SCB ATM card. No fees.

real money are gold and silver.....fiat$$$$$$ is currency a medium to exchange paper for pleasures LOL
Is the maximum 20,000 baht withdrawal from atm ?
There is an exchange machine at Bomingrad Hospital through which you can withdraw 50,000 Thai baht and I think it is the only one in Thailand.
