If not cash - I convert: 1. I send the ruble to a freedom bank in Kazakhstan, then I buy dollars for rubles. I pay with this card. Losses of about 2.8 - 3.5% of the exchange rate. On average 3%. ruble -> dollar -> baht. you can save another 0.3 or 0.5% if the terminal in Thailand accepts payment in dollars, not baht. similarly, you can send rubles to a caspi bank in Kazakhstan, then the conversion of ruble - tenge - baht losses are similar - about 3% of the exchange rate. 2. Union Pay Post Bank card. threw in rubles, took off baht. loss of about 6% More profitable than loss of 3% I did not find.
