Going overseas next week just wondering if anyone can help exchange AUD to Singapore dollar and Thai baht or know a place in Melbourne that has good exchange rates?
Or you could always exchange them when you're in the host country. Singapore has some pretty good currency exchange places, especially in town.
Yes agree. In Bangkok the exchange at the airport nearest the train line is good. Otherwise the 'Super Rich' I think it is, opposite Central World is usually half a baht better than everywhere else.
You will get around 10 per cent better rate if you exchange in Thailand. Exchange just enough for taxi etc at the airport then exchange the rest at a foreign exchange booth. Better to exchange bigger amounts outside airport as airport has lower exchange rates than outside.
Is it better to take AUD cash to Thailand and exchange there? I have always just used ATMs but know I get sexually assaulted in the process..
Like Altima said, exchange in Singapore. Such good rates there, especially at the places where you can see the price of the next business from the money changer you are talking to.
+1 Yep, you will find better rates in SG ... very low spreads ... but have enough SGD to get to the money changers in the city (don't change in the airport).
If you are in Singapore for a day or 2, head out on the MRT to Jurong Point....(Boon Lay Station...Jurong Point is the shopping centre attached ) There are a lot of foreign workers that transact currency there and I have found the the spread is one of the smallest in Singapore....more bang for your buck. It is also the best when swapping Singapore dollars back to Aussie dollar.
