samak Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 ATM just for amounts above 300-400 usd; for smaller amounts fee is higher than gain from slightly better currency rate. i have changed at singapore changi airport several times (however never THB) and rates seem to be pretty fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Don't get them changed at the Booths at Changi Airport or elsewhere - they charge about 3-5% over rate, up to 10%! Buying in Bangkok is good, useully a good rate, best bet on Sukhumvit, last resort at Bangkok Airport, but I just use my ATM card - and find thats the best. Interesting ATM's aren;t allowed after you pass customs at airports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidflux Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 No ATM's past customs? There's ATM's all over the place in Singapore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidy Ho Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Interesting ATM's aren;t allowed after you pass customs at airports! [color:"blue"] Which way? into the terminal/gates or getting out of the airport? If toward the exit, I've always used ATM at the airport (main lobby) to get S$ before entering the taxi line. For others, in my int'l travel days, I've always kept some US$ but always used ATMs to get local currencies. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
