No difference. Take one or the other currency, you will see which currency exchange rate is more profitable. Only take dollars at 50 and 100. The denomination of the euro does not matter.

For large bills, the exchange rate is more profitable.
I punched through the question and thought that it was most profitable to pay with a card, there is an internal transfer of the national currency into dollars, and from it into baht at the rate of Visa (if the card is a Visa). And this rate is more profitable (see Visa conversion) than the national rate. Well, in order to exclude cash withdrawals from ATMs (it’s not profitable to withdraw just cash, they have a fixed commission amount, not counting the bank commission to the withdrawn amount of 100-200 baht, it turns out from 10,000 baht - a loss of about 800 baht). We pay for purchases everywhere with a card (without losing sight of it and having previously erased the CIV code), and then we return VAT at the airport and cover the cost of converting by buying a bottle of some kind of "rubbish" like Belis with the proceeds. For 15 days for two adults and a child of 7 years old, we took 2000 bucks LARGE for 100 (such a small and not solid pack turned out, not like when we went to Turkey) - because breakfast was only, and purchases were made exclusively by card. All slammed.

Thanks for answers. Yes, I know about the card - it's not profitable to rent, just pay in a shopping center or somewhere else. So I thought, what cash is more profitable now to spend there? There, it seems, still depends on the year of the dollar. I was half a year ago with dollars (issue 2009, if I'm not mistaken) - brand new, without creases - set a low rate. It was more profitable to change older editions.

According to the year of issue of dollar banknotes, I did not have any changes in the exchange rate during the exchange. This is probably the "left" exchanger you got. And euros or dollars, whatever you have, go with that.
