Hi
Returned today. Over the past week rates on the street were usually around 7500 - 7700.
Be very careful of the money changers offering an above average rate. They are either going to charge a commission OR rip you off! Make sure you ask for BIG notes and know how much you are to be given and count it out in front of them.
We went to a few places that once they realised we were "smart" they refused to serve us ... we were warned that this particular area has a good rate but drops money behind their counter so you may walk out with much less than you paid for! Be careful!
Fantasic rate and honesty at Kodak Store in South Kuta near to Dynasty Hotel (maybe about 20 meters down toward Kuta on Left. Over the weekend their rate has been 7625 most other places still hovering around 7550
