Content: Therefore, it pays to  plan  ahead and not to be entirely dependent on your card. Bangkok is unusual in that Traveller's Cheques get a better rate of  exchange than cash, and the best rates come either from banks or  moneychangers. Bangkok also gives a better rate of exchange than elsewhere in the  country. Hotels will generally offer the worst exchange rate. AMEX  travellers  cheques are the most widely accepted. If you are exchanging cash, US dollars and GBP sterling seem to have  the best exchange rate but lots are currencies can be exchanged. The  higher denomination notes always get a better rate of exchange. Make  sure any US$50 and $100 notes are in pristine condition with no  defects,  or they will likely be rejected as counterfeit. Get the most  recently  dated notes you can as these stand the highest chance of being  accepted. It's not worth getting any Thai baht in your home country, as the  exchange  rate is likely to very poor.
