sigh shud have posted this earlier before my thailand trip last mth then i can shop more ..
anyway thanks for this information!

Haha...But current Thai bath to RM at market rate really tempting ..Now our rate higher then them liao..Thai Bath & taiwanese currency almost similar...Damn cheap going to Thailand & Taiwan right now..if only getting the market rate & not m'sian money changer rate haha

Anyway I was doing some research these past few days and found out in order to get RM1 = THB10 you can change from RM to THB at the Superrich money changer located at Pratunam (near the BigC supermarket). Hope this helps.

Yeah so tempting to go to thailand..Now waiting for airasia promo.
hopefully by then this way is still feasible.

Yeah, me too. But I saw this in the news today :

Bomb in central Bangkok kills 1, wounds 10
- The bomb had been hidden near a trash bin at a bus stop on Ratchadumri Road in the heart of Bangkok's commercial district.


This was actually infront of the BigC supermarket!

Wouldn't these continous chaos affect the Baht exchange rate?

yeah heard bout that news as well..
probably wont be booking flights to travel now but to travel to bkk few mths later or next year.. so hopefully things are cleared by then,.
plus its also your luck if u happen to choose the time to travel n there is riot or bombs.. we just never know

You would think so but no. THB actually held steady during the last demonstrations and even appreciated some against USD.
The purported reason is that all this hoo-haa is doing is killing the tourism market.
Tourism is only 6% of Thailand's GDP. It's export sector (manufacturing and food) is growing gangbusters year-on-year in the high teens.
Hence the strength of the THB.

anyone here knows which money changer is best in sabah?

I am travelling to Aus soon. As i have some USD with me too, do i exchange it to AUD in Msia or Aus?

Any website in AUS that can show me rates like wawasan?

so, i assume now it's a good time to exchange some TWD now, yes?

will be heading to TPE end of oct.

Well up to you to change here or change to US$ 1st & thereafter to NT$ The gap getting closer..last time the diff is about RM0.50. For eg market rate RM10.50 to NT100 but Wawasana was quoting RM11. Currently Market rate is RM10 & money changer is at RM10.35..diff of RM0.35. If you change small amt not much diff. But if you change big amt, for sure better change to US$ first. U get xtra RM0.30 for every NT$ you change by doing this...Or you lost RM0.30 by convereting direct to NT$ here

Where you intend to stay in KL? There arte lotsa recommended money changers here such as http://www.wawasanmoneychanger.com.my/exchangeRates.asp
located at mid valley megamal ctr court basement.

However they are no longer the cheapest but reasonable. You can use their rate & compare to others during your visit here..

Also at Bukit Bintang area, there are numerous money changers too so do every malls in KL.

Hi guys... I found that bank negara currency exchange rate is much cheaper. http://www.bnm.gov.my/statistics/exchangerates.php

Wonder whether can we go to Bank Negara to exchange money? Anybody know that ?

Yes we know that but I dun think you can do that unless you are the money traders..Well I'm not sure, probably those money changers are the one using/buying Bank Negara. & thus the diff between BN & money changers are the commission income of those money changers

Gonna change some CHINESE RMB, any recommended place?

Try World Rate at Damansara Uptown

you should it in Aus as it will give you more AUD

if you want to convert those USD into AUD in M'sia, you will get lesser AUD as the money chnger will convert your USD into MYR then only convert those MYR into AUD

but you can convert the USD into AUD directly in AUD

Added on August 22, 2010, 1:34 pmseriously if you in KL but you only change less than RMB 10k, no point to keep on travel to certain to change it.

RMB rate is around RM 47.8 to RMB100
