monochrome man Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 Guys, I went into about 6 banks/exchange places in BKK, along suk, in February to get some US dollars but they all said they couldn't sell them to me (or maybe just didn't have them). I'm now in Pattaya. Went to my usual exchange/bank. Asked if they could give me some. Same answer. Where in BKK or Pattaya can I get some? I used to have details of some Indian run place, near Suk I think, that sold them but don't have the details to hand Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentors Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 Why do you need US in SEA??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 BKK Bank sells US dollars on their second floor. It is somewhere between sois 8 and 12 on sukhumvit. I only use US dollars in cambodia and to a lesser extent in Laos. Cardinalblue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Thai Farmers Bank on Pattaya Klang sell US$. Also the little bank on the other side of the street heading towards Second Rd. Maybe the Indian place you are thinking of was Timmy's near the Indra Regent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotover Posted July 14, 2002 Report Share Posted July 14, 2002 Do you generally get a fair exchange rate for US dollars at the Bkk Banks, say around $1 USD for 41 baht? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monochrome man Posted July 15, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2002 Guys, Thank for replies. Mentors: I'm off to Cambodia, hence $$$. Like CB I use them there and Baht in Laos where I'm also off to. Mr mayor: it WAS Timmy's but that slipped my mind. I'll have a walk up to Pattaya Klang tomorrow.Ta. And thanks to moderator who moved my post to more suitable place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
