Banks In Phuket

Typically, most banks are open from 8.30am in the morning to 3.30pm from Monday to Friday. Banks are closed on Saturday, Sunday and on the various holidays.

You can find ATM machines in front of every larger bank in Phuket. These machines enable you to withdraw money from your bank account as well as from various credit cards as well as all cards that participate in the global Maestro system. However, in most cases you will be able to pay directly with your Visa or MasterCard at most shops that are frequented by tourists. American Express is less common and chances are that the shop you intend to use it does not support AMEX.

Exchanging money in Phuket can be an art form in itself. The search for the best exchange rate is a tricky one. In most bank branches you can find currency exchange centers. In addition, there are various exchange centres scattered all around Karon and Patong. These are generally open from as early as 7 am in the morning to 9 pm in the evening - seven days a week.

In the majority of hotels you will be able to exchange your foreign currency to local Baht as well but the exchange rate will very likely be worse than the one you can receive at a bank or exchange centre. Avoid exchanging money at hotels if possible unless you can get a very good exchange rate!
