Question

What currency is best to bring to Phuket if you can’t get US dollars?

Insider's Response

Our tip: for buying fresh seafood to take home, visit Rawai Market in early morning when the selection is at its peak. Many travelers also bring Chinese yuan, which currently has a favorable exchange rate. Additionally, more people are starting to use USDT (a cryptocurrency token), and there are options to exchange it for Thai baht in Thailand.
