Rate is slightly less after 17.00 and weekends. SR has more shops, now also beside old THai air office, corner to OmYim guesthse near Silom, but their rates also a little less as at big main office.<br />In my country there is no bank that offers free INTernational withdrawals, so go to a mainstream DE forum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304897538463565568.post-87911952308655663642014-05-14T20:51:14.214+07:002014-05-14T20:51:14.214+07:00CITIBANK does not charge fees.

If you always take out the maximum amount, you'll save 1/3 of the fees in the long run. Only works if your ATM card's per transaction limit is high enough, obviously.<br /><br />For cash, Super Rich and other money changers have somewhat better rates than banks. I like the jewelry shop/money changer on Siam Paragon's 1st floor, but there are many other options.<br /><br />The best advice would have been to open another bank account in Europe that offers cheap SWIFT transfers via cyber banking, unlike your bank.
