best place to change aud to myr?

Sigh.. i just saw this thread.. If i check earlier 2 days ago then i might be save more money.. i changed Rm 3000 with 10.80 rates which is Rm 1k = 9,259 bath which total up 27,780 baht .

I just called wawasan money changer just now Rm 3 k = 28570 at 10.50 rate . Kena con 792 baht by money changer at Mines SHopping Mall ( Serdang). Even the rate more worst at Endah Parade Carrefour.

Reupdate : Just went Midvalley to change another 2 k . I look for 3 changer in midvalley found that the cheapest 10.48 is the Rapid Million Sdn Bhd . It is located inside a magazine shop in LG floor. Wawasan money changer and another 1 near beside it hv the same rates 10.50 for baht and even alot of ppl queue.

I saw all the currency rates is simply abit lower compare to another 2 money changer and another better things is no need to queue as its located in the magazine shop and most ppl hardly can see it.

Hmmm.....I'm confuse of calculation from ringgit to THB.

From Wawasan,



Thats means, if I change Rm 8k, what I got is :

(8000/10.5)*100 = THB76,190

If change with h4e,

(8000/10.4)*100 = THB76,923

If I want to change at Phuket, for example

http://www.bangkokbank.com/Bangkok%20Bank/...es/Default.aspx

[Unit : Baht per 1 unit of foreign currency]

Thats mean :

8000*8.95 = THB71,600


All my calculation correct or not ?

Yes correcto liao

Means, change in M'sia better than in Thailand liao?

Yeah..Unless u can change 1/2 here & another 1/2, u can try looking for better than Banghkok bank money changer in phuket?

I was looking the same method. Change half with h4e and another half at money changer in Phuket. But from seeing Bangkok Bank rates, do you think money changer rates in Phuket can compete with ours?

Probably not..Yeah change 100% here will be better...Normally for S$ & THB, I changed in Malaysia..I don't really check the rate in Thailand..probably H4E already done his homework checking the rate in BKK??

I'm quite confused with this buy/sell thing at the money exchange counters... Can anyone please confirm if I get this right?

100 Taiwan Dollar We Buy 10.7 We Sell 10.9

So this means that if I want to change RM to NTD, for every 100 Taiwan Dollar, I'm buying from them for RM10.9...

And if I have any NTD, and I wanted to change it back to RM, the banker will buy it back from me for RM10.7 for every 100NTD...

Did I get this right?

Yes correcto too.

But for those currency that are badly traded here..& one of it..NT$, it's better to change to US$ 1st & thereafter to NT$ at Taipei Airport...read the 1st page of Taiwan thread for more info.

BTW, the market rate of NT$ is ~10.50..almost similar to Thai bath but u are getting it at RM10.9-RM11.2 in KL...beware...By changing to US$ & NT$ at Taipei, U get ~ RM10.60

OK, thanks for the advice... I read all about it in the Taiwan thread already... Just that I'm a bit confused with the foreign exchange thingy, just wanted to confirm whether I got it right...

OK, will keep in mind the tips!

Does currency exchange in lcct airport good to change RM to USD?

Anything at airport all overpriced including the currency! Just goto those recommended such as wawasan, NZ store also in MV or th ePublic Bank bintang walk

hahaha...actually, wawasan website show the lowest rate was at RM10.40 per 100Baht somewhere at the mid January.

But anyhow, can buy from me. Not much baht left though, but my rates are always between 10.40 to 10.45.

Lately, HKD went up from 43.6 to 44.5 but it's starting to drop again.

Is HKD going down further? Any advice?

well the lowest i could remember that HKD went was only around 42.50 and i don't think it could go lower than that

HKD has been hovering around around 43 to 44.50 since then

If you are just changing for 3000 HKD for holiday then difference for 44.10 (yesterday rate) and 43 is Rm33 only.

HKD might go up again following US dollars ?


Friend, if you are just changing for traveling, no need to worry so much

USD has come down a bit to day ..if any body wishing to buy HKD or RMB another 3 to 4 rates might be coming down...proceed with your purchases if you find the rates to be cheap..

Thai Baht going down. Good news to me
