Bangkok money exchange services are available in forms of large currency exchange centers and small money changer kiosks. The good news is that they are all licensed.
Foreign exchange service providers in Bangkok are categorized into 3 groups: money exchange booths operated by banks, currency exchange chains, and independent money changers.
Rates vary between different providers, and also between different branches of the same chain. Among those kinds of service providers, currency exchange chains and independent money changers have the better rates.
