Where to exchange money in Pattaya at the best rate?

In short – first of all, go to the T.T. Exchange chain, and if you're in Jomtien or on Pratumnak, check out the exchangers near Rom Pho Market and Cash & Go. In our personal experience, these three spots most often offer a better rate than banks and most street exchange booths in Pattaya.

We've checked them more than once – at different times of day and on different days of the week, so we can recommend them with confidence. The difference between exchangers can be 1–2%, and on exchanging $1000 that's already $10–20 of real money. Here's how our favorites compare:

Comparison of the 4 best exchangers in Pattaya

Exchanger	Area	Rate (relative to T.T.)	Old dollars	Opening hours
T.T. Exchange	All over the city	Base (benchmark)	✔ Accepted at the same rate	09:00–21:00 (varies by branch)
Superrich (green/orange)	Central Pattaya, Terminal 21	Often slightly lower than T.T.	✔ Accepted, but there may be nuances	10:00–20:00 (in the mall)
Rom Pho Market	Jomtien	Sometimes 0.1–0.3 baht higher than T.T.	✔ Accepted, rate may be lower	Until 18:00, weekdays
Cash & Go	Pratumnak	Often 0.1–0.2 baht higher than T.T.	✔ Accepted, check	Until 20:00, daily

T.T. Exchange is our benchmark: the chain has many branches all over the city, and you can check the rate in advance on the official website https://ttexchange.com/. The exchanger near Rom Pho Market sometimes gives a rate even 0.1–0.3 baht per dollar higher than T.T., but it only works until evening and not always on Sundays. And Cash & Go on Pratumnak in 7 out of 10 of our checks showed a rate higher than T.T. at the same moment.
