    I've never had this problem in all the times I have visited Thailand and didn't realise that this was an issue. Maybe I was lucky, but I will certainly check my notes in the future before I travel. Thanks for this useful informative video.

    I would humbly like to point that you missed one cheapest way? Walk into a bank with passport and card to withdraw money. ATMs in Thailand take a flat transaction rate of 220 bath that can be saved in this way. Banks are everywhere in Thailand, especially in Bangkok.

    I don't have to deal with exchanging physical cash. I put all my cash into a (free) Charles Schwab checking account. When I need to get baht cash, I just go to any ATM and withdraw a small portion as needed. All the ATM fees I get charged for using a out of network bank gets refunded at the end of the month. Additionally withdrawing in moderation keeps my remaining cash in USD (never left the card) so I dont potentially lose any if I were to convert the baht back to USD. This works for any country.

I got good rates at the gold jewelry store when I was in Udon Thani not knowing if they have any super rich but other name. As far the ATM, they charge me 5 bucks and I could only get 10000 baht out if I remember correctly.

      It all depends, besides hotel, per day you need 500 for street food, 500 for travel, 3000 for entertainment. Drinks separate. You may google for the entire fee of historical places. Busses are cheap but the biggest issue is the language with any kind of transaction you choose.
      Carry crisp bank from notes or will be rejected by the exchanger and the bank.

    I remember over 20 years ago (before the Euro), I had to convert my currency (Belgian Francs) into USD before travelling because it was the currency most used at the time (many money exchange places didn't have much experience with BEF so would refuse) but boy did I have problems exchanging them for local currency in Indonesia at the time. It turns out USD was the currency most forged at the time and they would refuse to exchange for the slightest reason. Not sure why the vlogger is using USD as an example coz I'm pretty sure Americans don't make up the majority of tourists to Thailand.
