Alex Pain
Short version - everything's OK. Had doubts, didn't have many options, took the risk. The money was transferred, the rate is fine. I recommend: - Allow about 40 minutes for the operation so your phone doesn't die. - Banks often require SMS confirmation for transfers of certain amounts, so have your Russian card handy. Sometimes they can ban you for suspicious actions. - If you can, make sure short SMS messages arrive to your number abroad. Good luck to everyone

RUB-Baht exchange via terminal successful, manager Sofa explained everything promptly, they gave an increased rate for the first exchange. I recommend.👍👍👍 PS The exchanger I used before dispensed only 1000 baht through the terminal, citing limits.
