Best place for Baht conversion

[PSY]

Hi all, I need to convert ₹2 lakh to Baht for upcoming family trip. I have few queries:
1. Which is the ideal way to go about it ? Should I convert to USD here and then convert to Baht in Thailand? Or directly convert to Baht here itself?
2. Which is the best place for this conversion? I am in Bangalore now.

how to book activities on Klook? which card is best bro

SBI Cashback is the best card for Klook. Do the bookings in INR on klook and it will be better than paying in local currency

Yes you can. Any card that gives max returns on online spend categories such as travel will be better. Yes bank may charge 1% DCC on klook though (same with HDFC, Axis etc.). SBI does not charge any DCC

Oriental is the best compared to all the Forex I had gone to them for both Baht and Pound conversion.

Never tried with CC need to ask them regarding the same.

Yes you can pay via card . They charge 1% + GST but that has to be completed online while filling their form on website and collect cash / Forex card by visiting them.
If you Walk in to their branch and you can’t pay via card there.

I converted to USD here at Thomas cook ( dint have much time to go for forex agents that provide better exchange rates ) and then just converted the USD to baht when needed. Try to get USD as 100$ bills since they have better value than lower denomination bills.

INR>USD>TBH will actually get you a little more baht the more you convert. I got around 300 Baht extra by doing this conversion.

Like others suggested, go for super rich which is one of the best for currency conversion. Try to avoid converting at the airport as much as possible. I basically converted my first 100 USD to baht at the airport so I can get a sim card , food and other stuff as I dint have any good CC with me. I did my trip in November and I enjoyed it to the core. Planned and organized everything myself and it's the most fun I've ever had.

Kindly DM the itinerary if you have it handy. TIA .

If possible please DM your itinerary , thanks

super rich in bkk does have decent rate if you have 500 rs bills. same goes with euro and usd. the rate depends on denomination, apparently it is bit unusual but i got pretty decent rates. they have few locations you can find them on google.
