at least it's good to know there's some shops that takes SGD now.
i used to change for the provision shop next to walkman for USD.
wonder if that shop is still open. their USD rates are very good and usually on par or higher than the FX rates. pre covid years, what i changed in SGD the loss is usually recoup back when i change at that shop.

Anyway i will be going back to laos in dec 13-17
any bros going during that time can drop a pm and we try to chiong together
From my old bird kaki, baht is acceptable cos rate similar to kip. This one you need double confirm.

With the kip so badly depreciated, better to pay in kip than rmb. Remember to bring excess rmb, esp if you are going to the china joints to cheong, so you don't get short changed from their fx rate.

ps: i am planning with a kaki t make a trip in dec. if can coincide, can meet for kopi n some beer.
