Dynamic Currency Conversion

[The_Fat_Controller 25]

If and when you come to pay your hotel bill with an overseas credit or debit card, make sure you pay in Thai Baht.

 

There are a few complaints on Tripadvisor that some Thai hotels are using DCC and converting the bill to the card's "home" currency without approval of the customer

 

The rate is always in their favour.

 

Do not rush the check-out process

 

PS. I got caught with this at a Disneyland HK shop a couple of years ago.

Do you look at the bill before you sign it?

 

If so, whatever you sign is what it is. If they state the number in [your local currency], then it is up to you to decide if the rate is OK.

 

I always settle the day before I leave so I have plenty of time to handle any issues.

Hi, absolutely correct you're. Samething happened to me just a month back in Bali, Indonesia.

 

Cash is the best option in this regard. Thanks.
