ATM USD or local currency (Cambodian Riel)
Re: ATM USD or local currency
You can use your card to get USD inside the bank. Costs slightly more than the atm. That way you can check the notes in front of the staff.
Can change big notes eg 100s at moneychangers. If you ask for $70 in USD and $30 in riel

It's been the same rate for about 20 years, it does fluctuate a bit but somehow the central bank adjusts it to a stable level.

The Riel still isn't internationally traded so yes, it's pegged to the dollar. You can't take Riel to another country. Surprisingly, for me anyway, you can change VND although it has to be bigger than 50,000.

You can take as much riel to another country as you want. Unfortunately it is only good for ass wipe.

When you withdraw from an ATM does it ask you if you want USD or Local currency and if so what is the best to withdraw in terms of currency conversion rates?

7/11 has been trying a long time, but hasn't been allowed. If they come to Cambodia they will wipe out all local mini marts in no time.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Tue Jul 09, 2019 12:03 pm someday Cambodia will have 7/11 's as no town in Thailand would be without;
