I am off to Phnom Penh on a visa run and will be staying for 5 days. I have read that the local currency is only used for small change and that taxis, for example, expect to be paid in USD. Anybody know where I can buy some in Pattaya?

Try Bank Gold in Rungland Village,just off Pattaya Tai,they have always got some.If they have any 2USD bills,take them, they don't issue them in Cambodia,and they are regarded as lucky over there,people think they are worth more than 2 USD(of course they aren't)

How much do they think they are worth? No, I phrased that badly. How much can you get for one in Phnom Penh?

 

In the US, they are "lucky" and lots of people tuck them away in their wallet and never spend them. Not sure how that's good luck, but they're a superstitious lot, the Americans.

Opposite X-cyte there is a furniture shop and next door to this in the side Soi is a guest house which also acts as a money changer. It was the best I could get for buying $ to pay for visa fee at the Laos border.
