I'll be traveling to Thailand and China within 4 weeks. 9 days in Thailand mostly in Bangkok, couple days in Chiang Mai and might take a day trip to Cambodia. On the way home I will have a 21 hour layover in China. I'll land in Guangzhou and hope to visit Macau. I'll probably stay up the full time to take in as much as I can.
Questions: 1) When entering BKK should I exchange all my USD into Baht right at that moment or spread it out? I'll probably keep at least a bit in USD since Cambodia likes the USD. 2) When leaving BKK should I turn in all the Baht to USD or would it better to hold the Baht and exchange that into Yuan or Hong Kong Dollar when I land in China? Also which currency should I trade into? I plan on spending about 40% in Guangzhou and 60% in Macau. 3) If I change Baht to USD ~ I'm also considering just using a bank card for China ATMs instead. My bank offers 1% exchange rate fee and no other fees except local ATM fee. What are the average local ATM fees?
