I have mentioned many times about this topic, if you changing maybe 500 SGD n if u staying in Jurong West, while the exchange is in Bedok n different is 0.1... will u go all the way there to change? Assume 23.5 vs 23.6, u gain 0.1 X 500 = 50 THB. Your effort will cost more than 50 THB. Unless u telling me u exchanging in high thousands...then different story.

If u think it is worth the effort, might as well head down to Raffles Place, there are many exchange shops there for u to compare, else head to golden miles.....

Can tell you NOT to change at airports, hotels (lousy rates).

Arcade, at Raffles Place has the best rates. On thurs, spied 23.70. SuperRich Bkk, understand marginally better rate with S$1k note. Most of us, including myself only need small pocket money, so no sighting 1k bill

MAS here also now announced allowing SGD more room to float (vs other currencies). To rein in inflation and with positive macro nos.
