Every currency has two numbers because the shop’s price to buy and to sell are not the same. On arrival you read the BUYING column; changing leftover baht back, you read SELLING. The gap is usually 1–3%, and that gap is how the shop earns. The second button above the results switches this comparison to the SELLING side.

Changing money in Chiang Rai

Chiang Rai has two tracked counters, and they serve different trips. Super Money’s branch on Prasopsuk Road is in Chiang Rai town; the Twelve Victory Exchange branch is in Mae Sai, on the northern border. They are not alternatives to each other so much as the counter for town and the counter for the crossing. Chiang Rai airport has its own page.

The earliest opening between the two is 08:00 and the latest closing 17:30, so neither is an evening option. One of the two opens on Sunday; the shop list shows which. Up to 38 currencies are quoted, though the two boards differ in length, so check the live table for the one you are carrying.

On 28 September 2026 the best US dollar buying rate here was 33.51 baht against a mid-market rate of 33.42, the same as the best rate tracked in Bangkok, and the two shops were 0.01 baht apart. At that gap the choice is about location, not rate. The Japanese yen best was 0.213. The guide to Chiang Rai and the northern border covers Mae Sai, the Golden Triangle and Chiang Khong.
