SuperRich Bangkok Airport branch is the money changer you should look for if you wish to get the best currency exchange rate at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) in Bangkok. Below you will find a detailed guide to locating SuperRich at Bangkok Airport, a review of SuperRich Suvarnabhumi Airport exchange rate offerings, and the exchange rate today.
In Thailand, expect to use cash in local currency (Thai baht) quite often, as it's still a preferred payment option for most local businesses. Therefore, you will need to use an ATM or currency exchange to get some cash. As local ATMs charge an extra 220 THB for every foreign card withdrawal in addition to the charges of your bank, bringing your local currency and exchanging it in Thailand in most cases is the most budget-friendly way of getting some THB in cash.
If you're not comfortable with carrying a large amount of cash to exchange in Thailand but still want to get a much better exchange rate on your payments and withdrawals than your regular bank card is offering, consider getting a Wise Card that lets you spend abroad with the real exchange rate and works well in Thailand.
You will see numerous currency exchange booths once you arrive at Bangkok Airport, but all these exchange counters belong to the banks, and the exchange rate offered there is much worse than you can get elsewhere. However, you can find money changers with a fair exchange rate at Suvarnabhumi Airport, as there are several currency exchange booths offering a much better exchange rate than you can get at the bank.
One of the money changers offering the best exchange rate at Bangkok Airport is the SuperRich Suvarnabhumi Airport branch.
There are actually two SuperRich companies in Bangkok: SuperRich Thailand (the green one) and SuperRich 1965 (the orange one). Previously, both SuperRich companies had branches at Suvarnabhumi Airport and tended to offer similar exchange rates. However, the green SuperRich currency exchange at Bangkok Airport was permanently closed, and now only the orange SuperRich is operating at the airport.
How to find SuperRich at Bangkok Airport
The currency exchange office of the SuperRich company can be found on the underground floor of Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, next to the Airport Rail Link Suvarnabhumi Station.
Once you arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport, arrivals are on the second floor. To find the SuperRich currency exchange booth, you need to go down by the escalator or lift. The SuperRich currency exchange office, as well as the Airport Rail Link station, is located on B Level, two floors below the arrival hall.
Just follow the signs “Train to City” that are clearly noticed all around the airport. On B Level you will also see the signs leading to ATM/Currency Exchange.
On the way to the currency exchange zone, you will see other currency exchange counters even on B Level. One of them is found right in front of the entry to Suvarnabhumi Airport Rail Link Station (see below). Skip them, as the exchange rate offered there is really bad.
