Taking Chinese RMB to travel in Thailand?

I am an American currently living and working in China. I will soon be traveling to Thailand for three weeks. I do not have an international bank account because my employer set up a bank account for me in China (Bank of Communications). I am unsure the best way to take my RMB with me to China. Would I loose too much money if I exchanged my RMB to USD and then USD to Thailand Baht? Any and all advice would be much appreciated! Thank you.|||100.00 CNY = 508.433 THB

You will get better exchange rate with 100 dollar bill in Thailand.


This site has a lot of useful info about Thailand: http://www.thailandqa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24842%26amp;page=2|||If you forex two times, you'll get charged twice so I'd just take your RMB, you can still change it no problem in the main banks, street vendors may prefer dollars. Get yourself a visa/mastercard bank card next time, I used my Bank of China one fine, or get your boss to set up a bank transfer to your US bank in the future.|||Not knowing what rate (plus any commision) you get changing RMB to USD in China, it's hard to say. This website shows the current rates for changing RMB and USD into Thai Baht (THB) at many different banks in Thailand. If you know the rate of exchange for RMB to USD in China you should be able to figure out what currency is best to exchange in Thailand and whether it's worth changing RMB into USD. Btw, you get a better rate of exchange in Thailand with 50 and 100 dollar notes than you do with smaller bills which is not true with most other currencies.
