Tips
As at least some of ASQ hotels on this list demand full or partial prepayment to Thai bank account, we would like to recommend you the tool that we are using for making our monthly payments from Europe to Thailand and it saves us lots of money on transfers. This online payment system uses the mid-market exchange rate and charges just a fraction of that usual banks charge for international transfers (e.g. for a transfer of 1000 EUR from Euro to Thai Baht we pay just 7.68 EUR commission, several times less than our European bank charges).
Wondering what is the current exchange rate they are using for transfers from your local currency to Thai Baht? Check Current Thai Baht Exchange Rates and compare them to the ones offered by your bank to see the difference!
