Currency Exchange — Where to Get Best Rates

Updated 2026 · Totally Bangkok

Exchange THB for USD or vice versa; where to get the best rates and avoid tourist rip-offs.

Airport exchange

Available 24/7 but rates are worst; only use if you have no other option.

Bank ATMs

Best rates, withdraw THB directly (no conversion fee if your bank is reasonable); use Bangkok Bank or Krungsri ATMs.

Superex/Money changers

Mid-range rates; widespread (malls, Sukhumvit); faster than banks but not as good rates as ATM.

Hotels

Convenient but poor rates; only use in emergency.

Tourist traps

Jewelry/souvenir shops offering exchange; rates are terrible; avoid.

Best practice

Get Thai baht from ATM (withdraw in chunks, avoid fees); use that for daily spending; only exchange back home if you have excess.
