Where in Jomtien is it profitable to exchange money and can you exchange rubles for Thai baht?

Yes, you can exchange money in Jomtien, and there are quite a few exchange offices here. But with rubles there is an important nuance: exchanging Russian rubles for Thai baht at exchange offices is unprofitable – the loss will be up to 10% compared to the dollar. Therefore, experienced tourists bring cash dollars in 50 or 100 bills to Thailand – they are exchanged at the most favorable rate.

In Jomtien itself and neighboring Pratamnak there are several trusted exchange offices with a good rate:

• Exchange office near Rom Pho Market (Jomtien) – open on map. A modest sign, but the rate is often 0.1–0.3 baht per dollar higher than at T.T. Exchange. When exchanging $1000, that's already 100–300 baht in savings. Open until evening (usually until 18:00) on weekdays.
• Cash & Go exchange office (Pratamnak) – open on map. Open seven days a week until 20:00, the rate is also often higher than at T.T. If you live in Pratamnak or walk there – be sure to check it out.
• T.T. Exchange – a basic chain of exchange offices with branches throughout Pattaya, the rate is consistently higher than the bank rate. They accept old dollars (without the blue stripe) at the same rate if the bills are in perfect condition.

What to avoid: exchanging money at banks (worse rate), exchanging rubles in cash (loss up to 10% compared to the dollar), and using the services of private money changers from Telegram – the risk of fraud is high. Bring cash dollars in 50 or 100 bills – they are exchanged at the best rate.
