Thanks for the tip, the rates look pretty good! I guess that only works with people who are from the US though (or England, Europe, China or Japan), as the Superrich website does not include AUD – I’m fairly sure the best AUD to THB rates we could find at the time we were there were from the ATMs 🙂

When going to Thailand I prefer to take USD in large denominations as there are exchange companies (e.g Superrich) which offer better rates than ATM withdrawals and definitely better than Thai banks at the airport or downtown BKK

Thanks Michelle. Yes, credit cards are more secure, but many people don’t like to use them for various reasons, and there are always places where cash is king 🙂

I personally also prefer to use my credit card with no transaction fees, as I feel like credit can add an extra layer of security as well. A lot of cards also offer insurance/protection which is great!
