Who runs CAT Exchange?
CAT Exchange is a licensed currency exchange service on Phuket with one office, in Bang Tao.
We change cash in thirteen currencies into Thai baht, buy and sell foreign notes, convert USDT to baht in cash or to a Thai bank account, receive SBP transfers from Russian banks, deliver cash across the island and handle property payments with SWIFT and an FET certificate.
CAT Exchange operates one office on Phuket, at 246 Bandon-Cherngtalay Rd, Si Sunthon, Thalang District, Phuket 83110, open daily from 09:00 to 21:00. There is no second branch in Patong, Kamala, Rawai or anywhere else on the island.

What are the official contacts?
The official CAT Exchange contacts are the website cat-exchange.com, the phone and WhatsApp number +66 84 263 9185, the Telegram @CatExchange1, the email Info@cat-exchange.com and the office at 246 Bandon-Cherngtalay Rd, Si Sunthon, Phuket 83110.
The Russian version of the site lives at cat-exchange.com/ru/. Both language versions carry the same contacts, and we never move a conversation to another number or handle in the middle of a deal.
How do I check that the site and the chat are ours?
Check the domain first, then the Telegram handle, then the phone number. A copy of our site exists on the domain cat-ex.com with a different Telegram account behind it. That project is not connected to CAT Exchange, and money sent through it never reaches us.
The domain cat-ex.com is a clone of CAT Exchange and belongs to other people. Our only website is cat-exchange.com, and our only Telegram is @CatExchange1. Verify both before sending money or crypto to anyone.
Three checks take a minute. The address bar must read cat-exchange.com. The Telegram handle must read @CatExchange1, letter for letter.
The number must be +66 84 263 9185, the same one printed on this site and answered on WhatsApp. If one of the three does not match, stop and call us before you send anything. Further questions are answered on the FAQ page.
