hey everyone, so right now I'm inside Bangkok International Airport, it is August
28, 2016 at 7p.m. local time and in this video I'm going to show you
I think the best place to exchange your currency inside the airport without
going outside the airport or taking a taxi, we want to head down to the railway
link at the lowest level of the airport and this is where you find an exchange
currency company called SuperRich if you've been to Thailand before you know
SuperRich usually provides some of the best currency exchange rate in Thailand
and there are only a handful of them and in this video I'm gonna show you one
inside the airport, so right now you're seeing the Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) rates
inside the airport but on the other half the video I'm gonna show you this chart
explaining all the currency exchange rates inside the airport and comparing everything
this is the second bank called Kasikornbank and this is their exchange rate
for that day but again I'll show you that chart and you'll see all the numbers
and comparison, there are a lot banks inside the airport so if you want to get
a little bit more Thai baht for the same amount of currency that you have
make sure to go down to the lowest level and exchange your money there, now if you're
just going to exchange like a small sum of money say a hundred dollars or two
hundred dollars or unless, it's not gonna make a big difference but if you are
exchanging let's say two or three hundred dollars or a thousand-dollars or more then you're
going to see a big benefit from it right now I'm just going to speed up the
video
and head straight down to the lowest level of the airport and right now this
is at the lowest level, what you want to do is we want to walk straight ahead to
the Airport Rail Link system and it's about maybe five minutes walk once you
pick up your luggage exit the gate and walk straight down and once you finish
changing your money you can just head back up, so the coffee shop is right here
on the right, straight ahead is the Siam Commercial Bank and you can exchange
your money here if you want but if you want to save some money
hold off on that and to your right is this Kasikornbank but you want to
head over to the Railway Link straight ahead
so it's just straight ahead, right here and we're almost there, if you want to
buy token to get on the Railway Link you can buy it here but we want to check
out SuperRich which is right here but first there is this exchange currency
company called ValuePlus, I never heard of this company before so I'm just going
to check out their rates, they actually had very good exchange rates, is comparable to SuperRich
check this place out first see the exchange rates, SuperRich and this place
ValuePlus have similar rates when I was there (better than the banks)
so here is the SuperRich booth inside the airport, it's not technically inside
the airport, it is actually inside the Railway Link System but it's right next to the airport
okay so here's the chart that I made for that day on August 28, 2016 at
7p.m. local time
so at that day the currency exchange rate was right here
so here's the currency right here, I only listed the most common currencies
the USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD, SGD, MYR, NOK
if your currency is not here
you just have to go back to the video and pause it and then do the calculation on
your own but I'm just listing the most common currencies, so right now on this
column is xe.com this is the current currency rate at that time
I use xe.com because when you do a Google search about currency exchange this website
pops up, you can use Google, you can use yahoo! but on that day
August 28, 2016 at 7pm this was the exchange rate and on this column
right here, these are the two banks that were located inside the airport and the
first one is the Siam Commercial Bank and then the Kasikornbank
and their rates are identical and the last two columns are the SuperRich
and ValuePlus, you see their rates here, the real exchange rate versus the
banks which is slightly lower and versus the SuperRich and Value Plus which is
slightly higher than the banks but not higher or not the same as the real exchange rates
I'm going to drag this column here bring, this in
let's talk about this column here this column is the SuperRich and ValuePlus
vs. Siam Commercial Bank and the Kasikornbank, the difference is 5.95% more
with SuperRich or ValuePlus for the US dollar, the US currency
and right next below that is the Euro so you get 6.05% more with euro, 6.14% more
with the British pounds in terms of dollars, lets say
so let's say you are exchanging $1,000 USD with SuperRich versus the banks
for $1,000 USD you would get 1,933 baht more with SuperRich
or ValuePlus and so on, 2,210 baht more with the Euro if you go to SuperRich
or ValuePlus 2,633 baht more with the British pounds and so on
the Australian dollar 1,083 baht more 1,065 baht more with the Canadian dollars, 870 baht
more with a Singapore dollar and so on
you get more baht if you exchange with the SuperRich or ValuePlus and it's just
five minutes walk and you can save quite a bit of money but again I don't
know the future maybe later on the banks would match the
the rates with SuperRich or ValuePlus but we'll see, as of right now or as
of August 28, 2016 you get more bangs for your bucks sort of speaking with
the SuperRich and ValuePlus, if you know someone is going to Thailand and
you want to save them some money send them this video posted on their twitter
post it on their Facebook wall and let them know that they can save quite a bit of
money once they're inside Thailand and inside the airport and if you
