going from Russia to Thailand for the first time. Does it make sense to buy local currency in Russia or is it better to go with dollars? rubles are real and easy to change on the spot with the help of exchangers? Does it make sense in this case to issue a union pay card or is it already unprofitable?

We took 2k dollars purely to check all the options, as well as the Union card as it is very convenient to pay in stores and shopping centers not in cash and changed on the spot once

Exchange online rubles for baht, it is even more profitable than a union map.

[Vladi]

There's no point in bothering on a short trip.

Gazprom Union Pay."

I didn't make a map. Just here I exchanged from rubles to baht, transfer to sber or tinkoff. They bring money directly home)))

Carry paper dollars as much as you need on the road to your destination. On the spot, you will already exchange rubles from the Russian card for local cash. Paper rubles do not carry))
