Which is a better option, bring dollars and exchange them there sa BKK, or exchange my pesos to baht na sa Czarina sa Makati?

And I plan to shop, mostly for my own clothes and pangreregalo sa mga tao sa Pasko. Pero mostly, para sakin lang talaga. Strict ba ang customs?

^ yes, the first option is better. Bring your dollar and exchange it sa BKK. Sa airport marami na dun money changer,mag change ka na sakto lang hanggang sa makarating ka sa hotel..kung pratunam area ka mag stay sa may baiyoke sky hotel may katapat yun na money changer, *censored* EXCHANGE competitive ang rates nila.. if khao san ka naman magaganda din ang rates nila dun..pwede ka na mag papalit ng big amount kahit pano..

Hindi naman strict ang customs lalo na pag alam nila galing bangkok..alam kase siguro nila na pang shopping talaga ang kadalasan ginagawa sa BKK.

^^sa may On Nut BTS at Asok BTS yun mga pinag-stayan namin dati sis/

lecky, teh, kala ko magwi-withdraw ka na lang thru BDO ATM? sa airport meron ATM dun na kulay purple, pwede yata magwithdraw dun kasi may cirrus, etc na logo akong nakita sa kanya e. nun ako dati nagpapalit ako dito sa BDO. peso to baht. ok naman rates nila parang czarina lang. kelangan mo nga lang magpareserve pero madali naman.

^ Sis, to be safe, I divided my money. May dala akong cash, tapos may laman din ATM ko. Ayoko lang kasing magdala ng cold cash na malakihan. :)

^^ Natawa naman ako at na-censor yung name ng exchanger hahahaha! ;D Ang babaw ko pero kinunan ko ng pictures lahat ng makita kong signage na may 'porn' sa Bangkok when I was there noong June.

Sa mga galing lang sa Bangkok, or sa mga andun pa ngayon, what's the current USD to THB rate?

Sis, I think I posted it here na yun sa cruise. Pero here it goes..
Don lang kami ng book sa may khaosan area. Hindi sya exactly sa Khaosan road. Ngboat kasi kami from BTS, on our way walking to Khaosan road may maliit na pasilyo (nagiisang agent lang yun sa pasilyo na yun may katapat na resto) before yun ng  temple may mga shops at resto don nasa left side sya. Nawala na kasi namin yun receipt, ang laki ng discount na binigay nya sa amin. Baht800 for dinner cruise and 850baht for siam niramit, no transfer ito.

Post modified. Please use the ^ or @ sign instead of quoting posts.
