Frequently asked questions

Is exchanging money at the airport a bad deal?
Airport exchange counters generally offer worse rates than downtown shops. We recommend exchanging only a small amount for immediate expenses at the airport, and larger amounts at a downtown shop with a good rate. See the method comparison page for details.
What's the difference between OH! RiCH (formerly SuperRich Green) and SuperRich 1965 (Orange)?
OH! RiCH (formerly SuperRich Thailand / Green) and SuperRich 1965 (Orange) are separate companies. Both were once known under the "SuperRich" name, but the Green group has since rebranded to OH! RiCH. Rates and promotions differ between them, so we recommend comparing both before exchanging.
Which shop currently has the best rate?
Rates change frequently as each shop updates them. Our comparison page automatically highlights the current best shop as "Best" for the currency you select.
How often are rates updated?
We fetch publicly available data from each exchange shop automatically every 15 minutes. Note that the shops themselves update manually and not in real time. Sources that stop updating for an extended period are shown grayed out with a link to check the official site.
Can I exchange currencies other than USD?
Yes. Most shops handle major currencies such as USD, EUR, GBP, CNY, and KRW. Use the currency pair selector to compare rates for supported currencies.
Do rates differ by banknote denomination?
Yes. Many shops offer better rates for larger denomination notes (e.g. USD 100 bills), with lower denominations and coins receiving worse rates. Use the denomination selector to compare.
Where does this site's rate data come from?
We collect data automatically from each shop's official website or public API. We do not create or estimate any figures ourselves. See the About page for details.
Can I actually exchange money at the rates shown here?
This is an independent information service only; we do not broker, reserve, or transfer money. The rate posted at the shop counter takes precedence over what's shown here.
Does this site cover areas other than Bangkok?
Yes. In addition to Bangkok, we cover exchange rates across 19 areas nationwide, including Pattaya, Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Hua Hin. Use the area pages to check rates near where you're staying.
How do you determine which shop is the "best"?
For the currency and denomination you select, we compare the latest buy rates from each shop and automatically flag the one that gives you the most baht as "Best." This is a purely mechanical calculation based on fetched rate data, with no manual curation.
Is this site free to use?
Yes, all features — rate comparison, area search, and station search — are free to use. Some pages include affiliate links (Wise, Klook, etc.), but browsing and comparing rates never costs anything.
Is a Wise card better than exchanging cash?
A Wise card lets you load funds close to the real exchange rate and tap to pay at supporting stores, saving you the hassle of finding an exchange shop and the risk of carrying cash. Which option is better depends on the amount and situation, so check the comparison page for a side-by-side breakdown.
Can I find exchange shops near a BTS/MRT station?
Yes. The station list page shows exchange shops within about 2km of each station, sorted by distance. Only branches with confirmed coordinates are included, so the distances reflect their actual locations.
What does the "PR" label mean on this site?
"PR" indicates an affiliate advertisement. We may earn a commission when someone signs up through our Wise, Airalo, or Klook links, but this never affects the rate rankings or information we display.
