Dollars, but not younger than 2000, went in June 2015, they took new bills well, the old ones were 1990 and 1995, then all the exchangers refused to change, no one warned about this before departure (:

It is important not only to choose the right currency, but also to change it correctly.
Today, prices in state banks Dollar Euro Ruble (respectively) 34.74 / 39.48 / 0.40
Same currency in private exchangers 35.10 / 39.983 / 0.50

I would not bother and simply withdrew the local currency from the card at the ATM.

A card is not a bad option if: 1. it is not alone (often blocked) 2. If it has its own money, that is, debit. Otherwise, a double commission of both Russian and Thai banks 3. Paying in large stores is only a plus. But Tai is a country of markets and street vendors... just cash.

Changed several times and dollars, and euros, and rubles are always in the same exchange office - opposite the port on the continuation of Volkin Street at the turn - the rate has always been the best there. I also remember how we went around about 5 exchange offices with the desire to exchange baht back for dollars before leaving. We did it in a yellow exchange office on a street parallel to Volkin Street. You need to take a little of everything and directly looking at the course and remembering the courses in Russia, calculate what is more profitable to change ... Something like this ...

If you already have savings in euros, then take them (in banknotes of 50 and 100), if you are only going to buy currency, then of course dollars in banknotes of 50 and 100. We now have a difference between the dollar and the euro of about 10 rubles, in Thailand, when exchanging dollars or euros the difference is only 4-5 baht. Moreover, it is not a fact that at the time of your trip the euro will be 39 baht. (that would not be bad), in March we exchanged 38.6 -38.45 baht per euro in Phuket.
And from the card, if it is in rubles, in my opinion it is also not profitable to change it to baht, like cash rubles. So you can not bother with different currencies, buy dollars for the trip. Here in June 2014 for 1000 rubles. they gave 960 baht, then it was profitable, and we changed both dollars and rubles brought with us.

And as mentioned above, for denominations of 100 and 50 the rate is higher.

The conversion still goes through the dollar, so it's better to immediately with dollars. We already wrote about the denomination above

At least once someone tensed up and wrote with calculations what is more profitable: to withdraw cash from the card on the spot or change cash twice ... I would give such a person a medal.

There are no universal calculations - withdrawal from the card depends on the type of card and both banks - where the withdrawal is made, and the one that issued the card.

So the exchange of cash also depends on the exchange rate in a particular exchanger on a specific date. I’m talking about using one example to see if the difference in exchanging and withdrawing money is so critical with the standard expenses of an average tourist abroad. There is a suspicion that the difference is negligible and not worth the time spent going to exchangers.

When you buy an apartment where tens of thousands are changing, it makes sense to bother, and those who sell it to you will calculate the best conversion option to the penny. Here, so for life, but on excursions the difference is not critical. with 1000 dollars (on average, with such an amount they come), your loss or gain will be no more than 1000 baht. Read better forums where to buy food, excursions, or whatever else .... who goes for what. Those who are stupid will always find the most stupid option. Have a good trip to the topikstarter. When buying excursions, any local guide will give you full and open information on how and where to save and where to spend. Contact. I will help with all I can.

ollennka, well, you are probably right. Again, it depends on the situation. For example, 2 years ago, when our hryvnia collapsed, it was possible to withdraw a dollar from the card abroad: at the rate of 25 (Privat), at the rate of 30 (Exim), with a commission of 10 to 20% or no commission at all. Besides, the question sounded - "with what currency it is favorable to go". Perhaps the author already has dollars or euros, it is not necessary to buy them at home.
