Hi again, it was a delight to come across one of your videos with fantastic walkabout There's also a good exchange rate at the Arab quarter both in Pattaya & Bangkok brbrConcerning banking, Bangkok bank also something worth considering as they seem to provide good service and easy to open in account especially in Pattaya Indian Food besides your recommendation, Masala twist is the very best here in Pattaya, and last not least, Le Pub near walking street is the place to be Comment from : LOS Thailand

I’m assuming $100 USD notes would be best? Comment from : Jeff

I took travelers cheques with me on a number of occasions, they work well, offer a secure solution for travel with money You also get a good rate on exchange Comment from : Mike Richardson

If you do have to exchange money at Suvarnabhumi Airport (not recommended but sometimes needs must) go all the way down to the bottom level and head towards the train platform and use the exchanges there, you will get a slightly better rate than the exchanges in the main terminal area Comment from : Andy4342

Trev, I know this is an old vlog but I have read that you can take your UK debit card into any thai bank and draw money from your UK bank account brwithout any charges whatsoever, just by entering your pin number at the counter Kindly confirm this one way or the other 🙏🇬🇧😊 Comment from : Martin Powell

Hi Trevor ☺️brQuestion can open an kasikorn bank account since I can't provide a prof of residency since I am planning a nearly 3months holiday and mostly I would like to travel around Isaan region Or is there any way around it or other methods to care money?brThank you 😊 Comment from : Stefano

June 1st Comment from : SVIII Savage Wraith

I was wondering tipping wise what would be the right amount For example I’m being driven from the airport to the hotel and it’s an hour drive Is 100 baht good or too cheap? I have absolutely no idea what they make on a day and how much they depend on tips and therefore what to tip in different situations Again your help is much appreciated Comment from : tunsiehelden

Good tip about hiding money in various places 👍 Comment from : bootney66

Wouldn’t mind being attacked by those two😂 Comment from : Barry Emery

Thank you Trevor for the informationbrI wish I could translate all this videos into HebrewbrI miss Pattaya so much brHopefully in November Comment from : GABRIEL R

Just watching this video for first timeas regards Transferwise is not a "good rate" it the best possible rate ! In short its interbank rates the maximum you can obtain as a retail customer There is NO other transfer service that gives full interbanknone at all As such no one should need to bother with another provider Comment from : Angela Spatz

We are hopefully going over Xmas and New year Thankyou for your great advice etc! We are more prepared now regarding money! 👍 Comment from : Jacqueline Brown

hello, great video thank you!! Do all of the TT Exchangers give the same exchange rate? Or do they vary slightly from booth to booth brCan't wait to go back to thailand! Comment from : kalarn mark

Traffic looks like a walk in the park, vs the Philippines! At least from your, and other, vlogs! Bangkok looks less dangerous than Manila as well in any case, I hope to find out in person, sooner than later! Comment from : Scott Triplett

One thing I would add is if you lose your Thai bank ATM card or it gets damaged or kept by the ATM machine, ihey will replace it on the spot if you go to a branch Thus there is no waiting for it to be posted to you, like what would happen in the UK Going on your latest performance Buzzin I would imagine that travellers cheques are dead Comment from : Peter Cook

Behave Thai banks?brYes looks good, $/€/£ to Bht exchange rate, however 5 commission on your withdrawlbrbrBuzzing, I draw from ATM yes costs 220 Bht per transaction My bank charges me ZerobrResult, in my world Comment from : Just Batters

Top, absolutely correct, generally TT, Soi Bukhoa bottom of Soi Pothole, can't remember 10 meters left or right the bestbrWhen! Emphasis when they come back over Every year at least once for the last 5 years (Prior to Covid)brTT without doubt gives the best, they do vary, OK, not a lot in it Wait! Every Bht helps Comment from : Just Batters

Just use atm with Charles schwaub accountThey refund all the arm fees internationally Comment from : Blue Collar Bullion Baller

I also use Charles Schwab (like some of the other viewers) as they don't charge any ATM fee and cover any cost you might incur at a foreign ATM machine Comment from : Paul Wain

whats the reason for giving slightly better rate with large notes ? brbrthanks for the informative video 💓 Comment from : Rameez Usmani

Another great walk about brgood job Comment from : K Walk

over the years i have found that some gold shops will give a good exchange rate , just pop in and ask if they will change some currency, they are more likely to do it if your exchanging quite a large amount , Comment from : Nigel Anderson

I am obviously a mug, I use an ATM card for spending money and credit card for accommodation, get charged by the Thai bank B200 and my home bank b100 for the transaction and get out B10 000 lots wise that's stuff all and I don't have to worry about theft I have two wallets 1 contains my credit card and 50 of my money and some ID, the other has my ATM card plus some ID and once I have arrived I never carry them togetherbr On another note, when I go to Jomtien, that's when I hire a scooter for a couple of days just to get the biking bug out of my system Comment from : des render

If you travel a lot -- make a Charles Schwab checking -- free atm/international ATM withdrawals no limits if you want Pull out thousands that way with 0 fee's Comment from : Rob

It was hard to get a thai bank account back in 2012 , I opened my account when I got my work permit for my business I miss pattaya, and i can't believe this is the same pattaya with out people Comment from : Moe Ali

Thanks for the stay away from the urge to rent a motorbike advice I think that was one of the most things I was looking forward to doing there this fall But I think that is sound My dad was friends with Evel Knievel, but my buzzed butt will be riding that baht bus instead like a rented mule Comment from : John Clark

Nobody uses the Traveler cheques anymore mainly because there are very few banks or Booths that accept them my friend tried to use TC last 2019/2020 and he was charge a very high fee Comment from : Brian Hudson

If I wanted to transfer £10,000 Which is the best way of transferring this amount of money ? Your opinion please Comment from : Brian Hudson

I already have a transfer wise account so How do you go about opening about a bank account if your just a tourist ? Comment from : Just Martyn 😬

Superrich, the green one, basement at BK airport, gives a good rate and can change money back as you leave, re notes, yes large, but also perfect condition, no writing, no rips etc etc or they will refuse them Take your passport or copy of main page with you, also time of say, rate changes abt 3pm each day Comment from : Thomas Brown

Can you exchange canadian money there Comment from : Don Mcgillivray

I've had my first jab and when I have my second I will be ready for Thailand as soon as they let us come! Comment from : Ed Wright

I won’t travel till 2022 Comment from : Mark Hughes

Definitely worth opening a Thai bank account, Bangkok Bank will let you do it on a tourist visa, you can get the paperwork to do it from a place called Mannerat on Soi 13/2brbrExchange booth wise, aside from TT there are a couple of blue Money Exchange Booths on Buakhao near the RCon Chicane and LK Royal Suites that offer really good rates as does the booth at the top of Soi 6 on 2nd Road Comment from : Paul Rodgers

Last year i noticed that many TT Exchange"Shops" have diffrent rates So dont change your money at the 1st TT you see Walk a bit arround and check the others too brAt these times everyone i happy to earn some extramoney so it dont wonder me that they give better rates inside Little profit is better than no profitbrbrI also use transferwise You can hold diffrent currency on your account For example you put british pound into your account and change it into baht when the rates are fine brI often had the beste exchange rates when i was at home I hate this :) Now with TW i can change Euro into Baht when the rates are fine and dont need to stay in Thailand At the moment i have Euro, Baht, Dong, USD and Yen on my Transferwise Account because last year i had the plan to travel to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Japan brbrBut TW take a little tax for this service But its cheaper than ATM since CC like from DKB is not longer for free Comment from : Mi No

Beach looks better after a year or so of no tourists I thought Hooters was over-price and over-rated, but to each their own I was living up near Korat in Nongki, used to ride a Honda moped to Pattaya and back 🤣🤣 Comment from : Rodney Ritchie

Great Comment from : nina kim

Phulet will officially open to tourists without quarantee on July 1st, but I don't know about Pattaya This news has been in The Phuket News and The Bangkok Post As to changing money, I always use the exchange booths, of which there is no shortage The differences in the exchange rates are minimal Also, I always stay at hotels I can trust and keep my money in the safe I have recentty stayed at the Bayview and Bayshore hotels without any problems - Thanks for the many videos! 👍 Comment from : Lassi Vakkilainen

150 don't use ATMs Comment from : Terry B

Exchanges boxes won't take old notes £50 £20 and only clean notes with no writing on them or torn notesbrBasically theses notes are toilet paper Comment from : Terry B

I think travelers checks are used less because of cash debit cards you can reload Comment from : Everyman Had a story

Day 10 in quarantine, 5 more days and I’ll be out in that sun ☀️ Comment from : UK to Thailand

thanks for this vlog, very informative, couple of points i would like to add: Kasikorn have always been easy to use, the one on Pattaya Klang down near 2nd road has some very good English speaking staff, i have also found they will exchange notes that the kiosks refuse (light damage and/or writing only), Indian foodbest for me is Tikka centre opposite the top of Soi Honey, good prices, and very good food The Avenue, i have heard the main part of the mall has been sold to an Indian consortium and will be converted to an Indian type of Nana Plaza (named Nan Plazavery clever!) Comment from : tony matthews

really enjoy watching your videos good to get a face to a video! also makes me remember pattayaaaaaaa Comment from : Tales Against Humanity

In all my trips to Thailand I have only ever exchanged US dollars as I am from the USA However I do have some cash in British pound and Japanese yen, you know from a previous time when international travel was permitted 🤦🏻‍♂️ Do you think I would be able to exchange those in Thailand? (Assuming they freely reopen someday) I know you can always find that place that doesn’t check your passport, I guess my question is more is it legal than possible Thank you Comment from : PittsVegas

No need to be afraid of ATMs Just use an ATM that is affixed to a real bank during the bank's business hours That way, if you have any problems, the bank personnel will be able to assist you (retrieve your ATM card, etc) No need to be afraid of ATM fees if you use a bank that refunds ATM fees and has no foreign exchange fees (Schwab and Fidelity for example) I carry both with me on trips (leave one in hotel), so if something happens to one, I always have another backup ATM card Note: The Fidelity credit card has a foreign transaction fee but the Fidelity ATM card does not (not to be confused with one another) Comment from : maplecharlie

I always used the yellow exchange booths, particularly the one near Arcon Bar I've used the curry house you mentioned, albeit 6-7 yrs ago But the best chicken Madras I've had on the planet was in New plaza about halfway through Best English breakfast used to be in the butcher's arms Now sadly gone Best and least costly eatery in Pattaya is on Soi Buakaou, nearly opposite Sugar A Go-go going towards Oasis ago-go Sometimes referred to as the tin cup cafe Meals from 30 baht, but it's 90 Thai cuisine, which I love Yet to find my favourite bar Far too many to mention Best accommodation is the first I ever stayed in, Flipper Lodge hotel, Soi 8 back in February, '07But strangely never been back in 9-10 subsequent visits Not even been to Thailand in 5+ years Missing Pat's, big-time Comment from : Manos para vida

I've had a problem in the past trying to change currency which is damaged or has been written on but i agree despite the risks you will get a better exchange rate with cash Comment from : nicholas archer

Do you get a card the same day when you open a bank account Comment from : Nicholas Roberts

Yet again great video, just nice to know the rates now, it seems to be going up a touch since lockdownlet’s hope we can all get back by Novembercheers Trev Comment from : Ian efc 14

Travelers cheques are still available but less of a requirement these days with multitude of atm's popping up in holiday hot spots and credit or debit cards being used all over the world, in fact some places refuse them now as they are more of a problem to them than bank cards The only benefit really is that if you lose or have them stolen you can get your money back, but in buying them you have paid a small fee to insure them for this Comment from : Graham Johnson

I always go over the counter at Krungsri bank, usually at the one in central festival You dont have any limits on how much you can withdraw, no fees and the rate tends to be better than other places I have used travellers cheques in Thailand but not since 2008, I dont know if anyone out there still takes them I agree with avoiding ATM's but if you do use one you usually get a voucher for a free can of coke in Family Mart lol Comment from : Michael Morgan

I will be there as soon as they drop the quarantine! I have debated the idea of coming now for a month but cant see spending half of that locked in a government approved hotel room Comment from : HD Cordes

If you want to exchange money going to anybank in thailand it's essy a lot of thailand Comment from : Natee wichianpong

If you want to exchange money in the airport, go downstairs to where they're all located, turn to the right (if I remember correctly), and use any kiosk that's not on carpet The airport fees end where the carpet ends, so you get a better exchange rate even at the airport Comment from : Glynn Callagain

Nice vlog i joined your telegram group Comment from : AnalogAudiophile

TT exchange best on 2nd road Comment from : AnalogAudiophile

Enjoy your shows, traveler check is still use but it depend on the country In Japan you can an extra 2 to 5 cent on the dollar When I was station in Japan I pay my rent with travel checks It was free with my bank The renter don't have to worry about receiving counterfeit money Comment from : TheTV4me2

Do you know if electric skateboards are legal there Planning on visiting but would prefer to use my board instead of a scooter (goes just as fast) Comment from : DarkSagan
