Any idea of the best place to go to exchange a large amount of GBP?

[yumyum2011 0]

Hi, i hope this is in the correct section firstly, if not please move elswhere.

Does anyone know of a good exchange office where i would get a good rate for GBP?.. The rate is looking a bit better the last few days but i am just thinking on a large amount a small difference in the exchange rate can work out alot when exchangind approx 5,000 gbp.

Any suggestions much appreciated. Thankyou.

I usually recommend Yenjit offices.

There is one on Walking Street, one on Soi Buakhao, and a few other.

 

You can find them here: http://www.yjpattayaexchange.com/6.html

Rates are there: http://www.yjpattayaexchange.com/4.html

 

For an amount of several thousand $//£ you can bargain the rate

Always a better rate if you have big value notes (50£/100-200/100$)

 

Check the T.T. Exchange office on Soi Buakhao too, opposite Sawasdee Siam Hotel (purple)

 

Best rates I think are in Bangkok at places like SuperRich : http://www.superrichthailand.com

For 5'000 £, it may worth a trip to Bangkok...

Don't leave it to long , it may drop like a stone again and for the amount you want to change that will hurt...!

The best rate I found in March was on LK Metro opposite Champagne .

I would try going into the banks and ask to see the manager , tell them you've got £5k to change and tell them you're looking for at least 49.00 to the £

 

If they agree , snap their hand off .

 

It's worth a try...!

. I agree one of the best published rates and they will give you a little more for a large amount of cash

Whereabouts on Soi Buakaow is Yenjit exchange?

Give Vanee (Soi 16 just off Sai 3) a call to - often the best

0893898741

 

 

Or conversely wait till I next do a large transfer, the fookin rate always goes up after that clears

They wont agree,the best today has been 48.30, i cashed a grand,s worth.Been to many places and that was the best i saw.

[seanss 27]

the rate changes at 10.00 a.m every day

so best to wait after that and you could phone the Chinese money changer in Rungland Village

0384220097

or as already posted Vanee

0893898741
