Phuket Raiders of currency exchange

Currency exchange

Travel advice before calling the banks, have said that in UnionPay Phuket Island shopping mall can be used on UnionPay card consumption, but also affirmed that we brought UnionPay card can be outside the consumption and use.

Results to find Jungcelon, Central Festival, Big C and Bodyshop, Boots, and so are not able to brush off line. But the worst is still inside the Boots Robinson, they knew the shop brush Master, and then think you can't read English, you can brush it out to see what the bank credit. Later we found brush is Mastercard line, let their retirement cards, direct cash payment in cash.

We do not recommend using credit card consumer credit Master or Visa circuit, because the Master and Visa to receive 1%-2% of converted into dollars in fees.

Suggest that you can select the following three methods:

1.

ATM cash withdrawal with UnionPay debit card:

And the issuing bank to confirm payment and your debit card cash withdrawal is Thailand.

The Bank's cash withdrawal fees are as follows:

China Merchants Bank: each time a minimum $ 10 can access 2000 Yuan worth baht, more than 2000 Yuan of charges in accordance with 0.5%.

Minsheng Bank: each time $ 15 processing fee RMB, daily capping of equivalent RMB 10000.

Huaxia Bank: it is said that every day is free for the first time, but we do not have this card.

When a little bit worried about not find cash withdrawal, however went to Phuket, find full street are Bank ATM.

The airport is around edges out 2 ATM cash withdrawal, not directly at the airport within Exchange. Airport rates not worthwhile.

2. domestic bank to Exchange u.s. dollars to Phuket exchanged for Thai baht:

When the exchange rate USD changed probably time 6.84, Thailand to the better exchange rate 33.63 UOB.

We can see the purple, blue, green, of exchange point, may wish to take some home, anyway, many of the same.

3. the Bank of China, the direct use of the Renminbi exchange baht.

In General, come back later to find the most cost-effective domestic exchange rate, if you can select the method 3 is preferred.

I forget the preferable.
