Koh Lanta: a laid-back island where currency exchange takes a bit more planning
Koh Lanta Yai is a quiet island in Krabi province, with west-coast beaches, a national park, and an atmospheric Old Town. Exchanging rubles for baht here takes a little more planning than in bigger tourist hubs — the island has few exchange counters, and beachside rates aren't always favorable. Here's what to watch for, and why travelers choose licensed service EXFM.
What's different about exchanging currency on the island
Koh Lanta has fewer bank branches and exchange counters than the mainland, mostly clustered near the main beaches and in Old Town. Because of the island's remote location, rates here are often less favorable than in Krabi Town or Ao Nang, and even less so in the quieter bays. Worth factoring into your travel budget.
Only work with licensed services — a copy of the Bank of Thailand license should be available on request. That's your protection against counterfeit notes and hidden fees from informal changers.
How to avoid overpaying
Plan ahead. For a larger exchange, arrange delivery with a manager in advance rather than searching for a counter the day you need cash.
Compare rates. If you use a local exchange counter, check the rate at a few places first.
Count your cash. Recount the baht you receive on the spot.
Ask about fees upfront. Some counters don't include extra charges in the posted rate — confirm the final amount before exchanging.
Why choose EXFM
A fair rate. We track the ruble-to-baht rate and offer competitive terms.
Several ways to receive your baht. A manager confirms what's available for your location on the island — no need to drive around looking for a counter.
