Swipe your credit card to exchange for Thai baht?

For some orange SuperRich, you can use foreign credit cards to exchange for Thai baht, but an additional fee of 2.5% will be charged. The green SuperRich doesn’t seem to work, so it’s better to make on-site announcements at the money exchange.

When exchanging foreign currency abroad, the exchange rate is basically better for bills with larger denominations, but the exchange rate for Taiwan dollar 2,000 bills may be slightly worse due to lack of liquidity. Next time, try bringing Taiwan dollars and exchange them directly (laughs).
