Suggested money tip when arriving and travelling in Thailand:
  1. Bring around NZD$300 in cash which you can use as a safety net and exchange in major Thai cities. Many banks change NZD and offer excellent exchange rates with no service charge.
  2. Withdraw the amount of THB you think you will need for your stay. Be aware, ALL ATMs in Thailand charge a THB200 fee (around $10) per withdrawal using an international card. This can add up unless you make sizeable withdrawals.
  3. Bangkok airport money exchange kiosks, operated by Thai banks, offer good value exchange rates.
  4. Leftover THB? If you have a small amount of THB remaining, you can use them to settle your hotel bill extras, transfers back to the airport and/or apply them to a duty free purchase on departure (you can pay part cash, part card). Few banks in New Zealand will exchange THB back to NZD, and if they do, they won't accept coins.
