Or.. You can use Custom House, they offer competitive rates and can often secure any amount you want within a few days.

Good advice, but as everyone has said for Thailand you'd be a fool to use a Canadian bank. The exchange at the airport and everywhere give a very completive rate. Rather than exchanging it back before you return, assuming I have a paid ride, I always dump my remaining local currency into the last nights hotel stay (with the balance on credit card) and then I don't lose anything on the exchange, failing that there is always duty free.
