What are the currency exchange options and requirements at Suvarnabhumi Airport for expats?

Although at Suvarnabhumi Airport Immigration it stated for you to prepare documents, passport Visa boarding pass and TDAC.

I presented the first three, and the TDAC was never asked for, I had my phone out in preparation.

,I received 41.9 Thai baht to GBP, all three kiosks were the same.

So Super Rich is no better than the others, and next time I will consider transferring all my spending money by wise, and not bring some cash to transfer.

or I will take some Thai Baht home for my next visit, just to get me through to my home in Korat.

I'm sure I saw 42.2 buying and 39.1 selling, but on checking my receipt it was 41.9.

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.
