Where is a good place, or is there a good place to change a couple 20 mil bills for 20 one mil bills? Would the colonial do it, or how about a bank? If I go to the bank would I need my passport even if I'm asking to exchange local currency? Would the bank change a fee? I'm thinking it would be good for tipping, taxi, beers, etc. with out having to wait for change. |

Its easier to just buy a drink that you would normally pay for anyway and give them a 20k note. Next drink give them another one. I do not keep a tab anywhere so I am constantly paying for drinks. |

They probably have enough in the tip jar too. |

and when you exchange money, ask them to give you amore smaller bills. it'll be a huge wad of bills to carry but once you get to the hotel, stick it in the safe |

It's my 1st stop when goin in on a busy night. Ever since they went to the centralized cashier system it can take forever to get change-even longer than before. No matter what bar you are at, the bartender must leave the bar with your check & money to get change. Now I always have exact change for the round of drinks. |
