Where's the best place to buy US Dollars ?
Hi Guys,
Got a trip to Cambodia imminent and need some US Dollars. I seem to remember someone posting there were better places to buy US Dollars in Udon than using the Banks. I've had a look but cann't find the post. Has anyone any info on this please ?
Also I'm visiting Pattaya for a few days before the trip, so if no joy in Udon then anywhere in Pattaya that fits the bill ?

Mally, don't know about Udon but on Pattaya South there's a BKK bank across from the veggie market near the Wat that I bought some ($200) in 04 before I went to Cambodia. Should be readily available at most banks in Pattaya.

There used to be a Gold shop opposite the bus station near the traffic lights going from Central (old Complex) towards prince prajak roundabout !
Not sure if they still do it but their exchange rate was better than Banks and expats used to get their US dollars there to get their entry stamp going into Laos.(cheaper than paying Baht,evidently)
Maybe some of the old hands here can confirm or know another place ?????

The Gold Shop no longer does it, seems they got told to stop. Looks like I'll have to use the Banks.

UOB, on the bank level in Central Plaza seems to be a better place to do business than the usual banks.

Colossians 2:8-10...See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ. For in HIM dwells all the fullness of the GODHEAD bodily; and you are complete in HIM, who is the head of all principality and power.

YES! I've used them before, and they have better rates than any of the banks. Excellent.

I bought Japanese yens from them about 4 months ago and they were about 4-5 % better ( cheaper ) than any bank at Central Plaza which i had surveyed before hand.
