Answer summary
A user in Pattaya is seeking advice on where to exchange Thai Baht for US Dollars for their visa into Cambodia. Suggestions include using local exchange booths like TT Exchange or Damini Gold Shop, as well as ATMs in Cambodia which dispense US Dollars. Some commenters note that paying for the visa can be done in Thai Baht at certain borders, while cautioning against receiving old US bills which may not be accepted.

Just use Thai Baht, hardly worth the conversation.

Right underneath Nana station or at the border they have ATMs

OPThank you for the information

ATMs will issue US dollars. But try to get change in US dollars not Cambodian riels. Hard to get rid of once you leave the country

The other thing to remember is that ‘Old’ US dollar notes aren’t accepted. I was there last year and I got a US one dollar bill in my change and when I tried to pay for something with it they wouldn’t accept it…because it was old. I must admit though, I’m not really sure what’s considered as an old dollar note. Maybe worth a google

Damini gold shop and exchange in soi post office. No need to order

OP@Giorgio *****
because you are the oracle and the milk of human kindness personified. Anyway you don't know me or why I am here so let's just leave it there. I have more important matters to resolve. Thank you kindly againGiorgio ******
@Dean *****
no I don't mistake myself with you. I wouldn't need anybody to find a money change's booth in Pattaya to save me 1 dollar to buy a visa to Cambodge . so pathetic . but we know why people go to Pattaya .
Dean ******
OP@Giorgio *****
I believe you may have mistaken me with yourself . I don't need to even respond. However if pointing out other people's weaknesses or failings makes you happy . Then please feel free to carry on . Me on the other hand will carry on surrounding myself with positive and emotionally mature people. Thank You again for your helpGiorgio ******
@Dean *****
great for him if he couldn't find it by himself ! poor little boy lost in Pattaya !!! I hope he found a place where he'll get one more dollar than next door. it will pay for ***

Insignificant for some is not so for others. Go easy.Frank **********
@Graeme *********
No answer will be forthcoming for 2 reasons. 1) You would probably not comprehend it & 2) I prefer not to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person. Enjoy your rage ....Graeme **********
@Frank *********
answer my question pleaseFrank **********
@Graeme *********
in addition to your lack of comprehension skills you seem to have serious anger issues. Perhaps consider seeing someone about this?Graeme **********
@Frank *********
and your point is? You sound as stupid as this other idiot. So what was the accurate advice this knob posted??Dean ******
OP@Giorgio *****
er no I'm a fellow human being asking for advice . Thanks

@Dean *****
just use an ATM in Cambodia don’t know what your currency is so watch the rate or buy some at TT on 2 nd rdGiorgio ******
@Dean *****
advice is walk in the streets , check out every "money change " booth . they are every where . if you're not able to do that by yourself . you have a problem
Henrik *****
The exchange rates are visual accesibel at every exchange booth you pass.
With the amount needed for that purposed, just go to the nearest one.
