Bangkok Money and Banks Tips
Personally, I found out that the
exchange rates are better in Bangkok than in my home country (Singapore).
If it's the same for you where you come from, email me and let me know.
List of some Bangkok Banks

Try to keep a good amount of smaller notes for change.
Travelers Cheques
Major currency bills and travelers cheques are cashed easily at hotels, tourist shops, major shopping malls and money changers. Travelers Cheques are best changed in banks. And remeber, you will need your passport.
Another tip: Rates of exchange at banks or authorised money changers are better than those at hotels and department stores.
How much can I bring In? How much can I bring out?
Any amount of foreign currency may be brought into the country. Visitors may take foreign currency out of Thailand, but no more than the amount stated in the customs declaration made on arrival.
Travelers leaving Thailand may take no more than 50,000 baht per person.
