Answer
The best exchange counter can change from day to day, so compare the posted buy rate for your exact currency at several established booths or banks. Central Pattaya has many exchange counters, while hotels and airports are often less competitive for large amounts. Count the cash before leaving, keep the receipt and avoid street exchanges. For ATMs, compare your bank’s fees with Thailand’s local withdrawal fee and decline dynamic currency conversion when the machine offers to charge your home currency at its own rate. Money note: Exchange rates, ATM fees and card surcharges change. Compare the net amount, decline poor dynamic currency conversion and keep transaction receipts.
