Best place to exchange thai baht into Cambodian riel.
We are crossing the Thai border into Cambodia at Poipet in the morning, wondered if anyone knew the best place to change bahts into reils?

Sorry the answer is a bit late but reil is not really used in Cambodia except for very small change, you really need US$ as that is the main currency used. There are several exchange stalls in central market Phnom Penh that offer a good rate but beware that all noted are in good condition, any marks or tears even small and it will not be accepted, check your change if in US$ as anyone who has bad notes will try and pass them off on you. US$ =4000 reil. about 7 years ago

Easiest is just to find a cash machine and get US dollars (which the machines dispense to all international cards). Riel are only used to buy very very small items. Even locals mostly use US $.
That said, if you need to get rid of your Baht, any money changer can do it. Use usual precautions. almost 6 years ago
