Should I reapply for my Thai visa after rejection, or wait before trying again?

use wise to learn what the current exchange rate is I find that they will give a really good indication. since you already have 6,000 baht you will not need to exchange anything at the airport. go to a mall and check out the rates at the kiosk. super rich tends to have some of the best rates I have heard but I've only used them once. if you're only staying for a couple weeks it's not a big deal you don't need to worry about it. but don't use your ATM card here if I was you bring cash. and make sure that every single bill is new and has no marks on it even a small market they will not take it. I've been here 2 years and I still have 3-$50 us bills that I cannot get rid of. Even my bank won't take it. That's what I did but I had a hard time getting that much cash when I came. I think I wanted to bring 6000 with me in cash but only managed to bring about $4,000.

My last month I stayed in Philly and there were no banks there that would let me cash a check or even use much other than the ATM. ATMs doesn't always give new bills. the banks even though it was their own ATM machine in their lobby wouldn't exchange as I wasn't a customer. only Wells Fargo allowed me to take some out. plan ahead.

Best place is suvarabhumi basement level nesr airport link transit ... superich orange or green ... best exchange rates in thailand

If you are in U.S. Get a Schwab or Fidelity Checking account. They reimburse 100% of your ATM fee, and I got better exchange rate from ATM than most vendors I went to.

If you've been several times surely you know the answers

Any super rich in sukhumvit area

I use mobimatters esim good rates and 5g in most places

Definitely not at exchange in airport.

But have a good time

You many times in Thailand?

Why you ask here?are you cheap Charley?

Ever-rich at Big C at Chitlom has a relatively better rate ; but for individuals, most people probably would not see a huge difference ~ 🫡

AIS best sim by far for coverage around country, islands etc.

For US currency, best bills to carry for convenienceand best exchange rate are $100 bills, unmarked, no tears, excellent condition. Bring one or 2 $20s to exchange at airport (SuperRich basement level offers good rate).

You have been to Thailand several times and you don't know where to exchange money and get a e-sim card? 🤔🤔🤔 Something sounds funny there

Super Rich and sims at the airport near out gate.

Cash your money outside the airport all banks show rates on screens

If you still have 6k in Baht, don’t listen to the other people, if you stay in BKK Sukhumvit area, go to Stratford Exchange ( on the corner of Soi 15 ) , it’s a small exchange but they always offer the best rate, or look for TT Exchange or Superrich in town

New exchange opened between soi 11 and soi 7 great rate. But it closes at 18.00 hrs

Yellow exchange booth offer good rates. You can buy esins on line.

No one here seems to worry about carrying cash while traveling?

use Wise

ATM will ask you to accept their exchange rate. Always decline and choose to pay in baht.

If they ask to see your funds 6000k isn't going to cut it. You can show them the equivalent of 20K baht in your country's currency. Flown here 4 times and have never been asked.

Look up Wise

Don’t change your money at the airport

T”” xchange yellow booth

go too one of the shopping centers near where you are staying and have a look around at the rates , the airport exchange booths have a lower exchange rate due to rent being paid to be on the airport property.

Super rich at the ground level give good rates but it can be busy. If you don’t have time you can change a smaller amount at the arrival area booths and then change more down town. As you already have 6k Bhat that will be enough to start with. Once your downtown there are exchange places everywhere. Have a look at the rates but sometimes the closest is the most convenient. For SIM cards before I moved here I just got one from the booths in the arrival area. Cost a bit more but much more convenient and data straight away. Never used an eSIM.

You can get an eSIM before hand and activate it asap when you land I would just buy a day one , then go buy one from true if your there for 30 days they have a 30 day unlimited data no calls for 450 + vat so just over 500 baht

Physical SIMs at any or Lotus. They are usually much much cheaper than "tourist SIMs" does not matter if E-SIM or physical.

For money exchange I often hear "Super Rich" Bank as best option. I have no idea if that is true. There is one on the lower floor of the airport.

Go downstairs to the railway level find Superrich orange kiosk, give them big notes, clean, they will give you back any that are written on or ripped, as for e-sim I used sailly good price and works well, I downloaded it at Heathrow airport, and was good to go in Bangkok, rang the wife from the baggage hall

listen to the advice of the people commenting Airport will have the best rate due to high volume

Super Rich in airport has a worse exchange rate than other Super Rich in city.

Super rich at basement level, is usually the best rate. Often slightly higher in the City than at the airport,again super rich have exchanged in city often BST stations.

Go down to ground level and there’s a super rich exchange down there with a few others they are normally slightly better rate than TT exchange

at the airport, very simple find,

Going by the rules you are supposed to have 20,000baht equivalent on you. I have never been asked by Immigration to show it, but I always make sure I have it.

E-sim card? An e-sim is not a card 🙄

Go lower ground level where the walk way to the trains are. There is a super rich down there best rates in Thailand. Sims there are counters for ais true etc as you walk out from baggage claim. You can get cheaper at 7 11 depends how desperate you are for data. Airports bars hotels literally everywhere as WiFi

if a tourist, you should have 20k baht (or equivalent) in cash;

exchange at airport is not as good - TT foreign exchange is often better rates or withdraw via atm/wise

e sim you can buy before you leave - online… holafly, and many others - just be aware some esims activate as soon as set up so dont activate until the day you fly

You're gonna need a lot more than 6k...go to basement of airport for sim card or 7-11

Exchange cash is available at bank or malls. you will need passport for bank ATM's will charge a 250baht

Also watch the Exchange rates at different places.

Do a lot of research!

it will pay off so you have a Wonderful time in Thailand.

Good Luck

Exchange at a TT exchange in a city like bangkok or super rich exchange for best rates. Keep crisp clean bills and don't exchange at the airport unless it's a small amount.

You can get sim card right in the airport or get eSIM that covers asia online
