Haha..That wawasan at LG ctr court of Mid Valley has been discussed since 2-3yrs ago here. They are the first & I think right now (Still) the only one publishing daily exchange rate on website: http://www.wawasanmoneychanger.com.my/exchangeRates.aspPPl visiting this thread will use them as a yardstick to compare wth others.

Yes hv to pay twice for commission but still worth the effort and sometime much better.. One of it in Taiwanses $. You get ~ RM50 per every RM1000 you swicth from RM to US$ & thereafter to NT$ bcos the money changer in Taipei probably regulated and thus the airport & the city banks offering the same rate.
If you can find good money changer in Thailand, Doing this way is better bcos NT$ & baht almost having similar rate.

Impossible bcos Bank Negara current rate is 39.32 (Market & lowest in M'sia but not for us) and wawasan, One of the best in M'sia) selling at 39.90. So the best you can get Today at Bkt Bintang is about 39.80 or 39.70

Compare. All within walking distance..It's just like the price war by Hypermarket..certain currenies, MC1 might be cheaper but certain currencies, MC2 better..so just compare-lah.. Wawasan mid Valley is the yardstick

Looks like I will have to change RM to THB in HY to get RM1 = THB10.

I don't want to exchange too many yuan in malaysia or else there will be lots of 'stuck' unused currency.

Don't take risk. M'sian Ringgit is not well traded in lotsa countries. And if you can find, the rate there will be worst than what you will be getting here.
If you don't want to bring Yuan, you can change to US$ 1st. More wellknown & better rated currencies everywhere

One is buying & another selling lor.
Meaning they are buying Thai Bath for you for RM9.9XX for every 1ooBath and they are selling That Bath to you for every 100baht at RM10.15. ANyway, it is imposiblle to do that in bank Negara. The best is via bganks & money changers.
