Good condition, large denomination currency is always the easiest and best choice in terms of travelling short-term abroad. It\u2019s always better not to change your money over Thai baht before you get to Thailand since you can always change your currency to Thai baht 24 hours a day in money changers and you will get your best exchange rate in Thailand. You can easily change cash and traveller’s cheques at the airport and in many places in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if you don\u2019t prefer to carry cash with you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use your ATMs for your bank cards <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/credit-card-and-debit-card-495x375.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou can use ATM’s for cash withdrawals but always remember that there is a 150 – 220 baht surcharge for every withdrawal so take out the more than you need at once. Always check your bank\u2019s charges for international withdrawal and some fees along with it. There are ATM’s all over Bangkok and major cities and it would be best to use an ATM when tag along with a bank is nearby. In case your card jams, you can always go to the bank and let them open up the ATM machine for you.
