ARBI Exchange
ARBI Exchange describes itself as a currency exchange and transfer service; the legal name on the site is ARBI EXCHANGE CO., LTD. Phuket is broken out by individual branches.
Offices
Five addresses are listed, all open Mon–Sun 10:00–22:00. Karon: 34 Luang Phor Chuan Rd. Chalong: 41 Soi Kan Eang 1, Tambon Rawai. Karon Avenue: 19/1 Karon Road. Kata: SC Plaza, 99 Soi Pakbang, Karon. Bang Tao: 49/1 Ban Don-Choeng Thale Road, Choeng Thale.
Patong, Rawai and Nai Harn appear in the city list. No separate Patong office address appears on the reviewed page, so Patong is not counted as a sixth location.
What it accepts and how it pays out
Rubles are accepted through SBP, transfers from Sberbank, T-Bank and Alfa-Bank, Mir, Raiffeisenbank and VTB cards, Visa and Mastercard, and cash rubles. A long list of cash foreign currencies includes USD and EUR. USDT, BTC and ETH are not mentioned on the reviewed page. That is an absence, not a refusal, and the scale gives USDT zero.
Payout options are an office, courier, QR cardless ATM withdrawal at Kasikorn, Bangkok Bank, SCB or Krung Thai, transfer to a Thai account and cash USD. Courier delivery across Thailand is free from THB 30,000.
The license shown on the site is Bank of Thailand No. MC 225660108. Passport requirements are not stated in the exchange rules.
Amounts and timing
The minimum for individuals is from THB 1,000 or the equivalent. There is no maximum. Dollar rates distinguish denominations of 50–100, 5–20 and 1–2. The standard USD rate applies up to USD 1,000; larger amounts may receive a better rate.
“Online exchange in 2 clicks and 60 seconds” and “60 seconds for the exchange process” describe the request process, not cash delivery. For the same reason EXFM’s “5 minutes to process” is not credited, the speed point here is zero.
The site does not accept US dollar bills issued before 1996 or damaged or dirty banknotes. Ruble selling is shown in the rate table.
What the source does not say
