best exchange rate

[kalpattaya]

I live in Pattaya and Gold Bank is in Soi Rungland, that is across from the CAT telecom building.

What is Gold's bank?Never heard of it.
oddball,Just about anywere in the US that you use your AtM card at a machine other then your own banks machine you will be charged anywere form $1 to $5 US for the usage of same.At todays rate that is about 34thb to 170thb.I am not happy that the Thai banks have now caught up to the idea of atm fees but hey, money is money.The best way to go is really an atm.But do try to open a Thai bank account and use the atm card from it.

Its better not to buy Thai baht.
Best is to bring the currency of your country and get it changed at Vasu.
If you are near the Nana skytrain station, I suggest you go to Vasu travel and money exchange. They always have the best rates in the area. They are located on the corner of Soi 7 and Sukhumvit, right below the skytrain station. The front of the business is a travel agency and in the back to your left is the money exchange.
Highly recommend them.
