In one word NO Unless you want to get ripped off.
I have been to Thailand around many times over the past years.
Never have I seen a better deal in Australia. 100% of the time there have been better rates in Thailand.
In September 2012 I recall seeing ฿29 Bhat per dollar in Australia and ฿33 Bhat per dollar in Thailand.
On an exchange of $1K AUD thats ฿4K Bhat!! That can go a long way in Thailand.

- 115 x Street vendor meals
- 400 x bottles of water
- 1 x month hotel stay
Do not be stupid. Do not exchange money in Australia or your home country. Do it in Thailand and don’t do it at the Airport. (Unless it on on the basement level where the rail link is). Ever since Super Rich (Bright Orange) Exchange opened up shop. All the nearby exchange shops are offering the same rate.
If you really need to just exchange something small, enough for the bus/taxi ride then exchange you bulk at an exchange in Thailand.
