Where to exchange money in Bangkok
Superrich and similar exchange booths usually give the best rates in the country. The two big orange- and green-branded chains — Superrich Thailand and Superrich 1965 — are separate companies with branches near BTS stations and in malls across the city; independent booths in tourist areas like Sukhumvit and Silom are often competitive too. It's worth comparing two or three boards before you commit, since rates can vary noticeably between operators on the same street.
Banks offer decent, if slightly worse, rates than the best exchange booths. You'll typically need to show your passport for larger amounts.
Airport counters at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang have by far the worst rates — often 5–10% below what you'd get in the city. Only exchange enough there to cover the taxi or train into town, and do the rest once you've arrived.
One more tip: larger banknotes (like $100 bills or €50/€100 notes) generally get a better rate per unit than small, worn, or older-series bills.
ATM withdrawals
Almost every Thai bank now charges foreign cards a flat fee for each withdrawal — commonly around 220 THB, on top of whatever your own bank charges for a foreign transaction. Because that fee doesn't change with the amount withdrawn, it pays to make fewer, larger withdrawals rather than pulling out small amounts every day or two.
Some travel-focused debit cards (multi-currency accounts like Wise or Revolut, for example) reimburse ATM fees or skip foreign transaction fees entirely — worth setting one up before your trip if you'll be withdrawing often.
Whenever an ATM (or a card machine in a shop) asks whether you'd like to be charged in your home currency or in THB, always choose THB. Accepting the foreign-currency option — known as Dynamic Currency Conversion — locks in a marked-up exchange rate that's almost always worse than your own bank's rate.
Cards vs cash
Cards are widely accepted at hotels, malls, chain restaurants and supermarkets, and contactless payment (including Apple Pay and Google Pay) works at most modern retailers and even many 7-Eleven branches.
Street food stalls, local markets, songthaews, and small family-run shops are usually cash-only, so keep a supply of smaller notes — 20, 50 and 100 THB bills — handy for everyday spending.
A practical mix: put bigger purchases and hotel bills on a card with low or no foreign transaction fees, and carry cash for markets, street food and taxis.
Common money scams to avoid
- "The temple is closed today." A common opener from strangers trying to redirect you to a gem shop or tailor that pays them commission. Major temples don't close on a whim — politely ignore and carry on.
- "The meter is broken." Insist on the meter in a metered taxi, or skip the negotiation entirely and book through Grab, which shows the fare upfront.
- Headline exchange rates with hidden fees. Some booths advertise an eye-catching rate that only applies above a certain amount, or add a "service fee" at the counter. Ask for the exact THB total before handing over cash.
- Switched or fake notes. Count your change before walking away, especially in busy markets or from unmetered tuk-tuks.
- Unmetered tuk-tuks and taxis quoting inflated fares. Agree a price before you get in, or use Grab to avoid the negotiation altogether.

Should I exchange money before traveling to Thailand?
You don't need to. Exchange rates in Bangkok — especially at Superrich and similar licensed exchange booths — are typically better than what banks or airport kiosks offer at home. Bring a debit or credit card for the airport transfer and your first ATM withdrawal, then exchange cash or withdraw more once you're in the city.
Do ATMs in Thailand charge fees?
Yes. Almost every Thai bank charges a flat foreign-card fee, commonly around 220 THB per withdrawal, on top of whatever your home bank charges for a foreign ATM transaction. Because the fee is flat regardless of amount, it's cheaper to make fewer, larger withdrawals than many small ones.
Should I pay in THB or my home currency?
Always choose to be charged in THB. Many card terminals and ATMs in Thailand offer 'Dynamic Currency Conversion' (DCC) — the option to pay in your home currency instead. It looks convenient but applies a marked-up exchange rate that's almost always worse than letting your own bank convert THB at the standard rate.
Where can I get the best exchange rate in Bangkok?
Superrich (the orange-branded Superrich Thailand and the green-branded Superrich 1965 are separate companies) and similar licensed exchange booths around Bangkok — many near BTS stations and in malls — consistently offer among the best rates in the country. Banks are a reasonable backup; airport counters are almost always the worst option.
