Most dun give good rates for 100 SGD, only a few.

Different as 1 has extra word, "Grand".

As a tourist, dun put too much effort thinking of where to change. Assume u are changing 1000 SGD and the rates different between walking distance and an hour + travel journey is 0.2, u will only lose out 200THB.

Let me give u an example, I know a few samsters who stay in Hway Kwang, took MRT and change to BTS to Chitlom, super rich. Have to pay for the both train fares and walked 10-15 mins under the hot sun to exchange money then another 10-15 mins back to the train station, just because of a few baht.

Yes correct unless you're an UBS trader doing multi million THB transaction. The 0.001 difference is not going worth the hassle if you take into account the transport costs and time.

Huai Khwang junction area offers pretty decent rates. I changed a few times before using RMB. Now when in Thailand I'll pretend I am Ah Tiong from Shenzhen working at Foxconn as Line Leader.
