I just changed Twd at Taoyuan airport terminal 1. Rate was definitely not more than 24. The 24.xx rate is the bank buy in rate.

Your live report if nobody correct will mislead ppl not to change locally and go Taoyuan change instead but end up disappointed..

Sorry I might overlooked but for sure is the first money changer before collecting luggage selling rate is 23.9 which is still higher than what I changed 23.7 at the arcade.
24.16 is the second money changer after I collected the luggage which I might have overlooked. Sorry.

Sorry but i guess u have mistaken both..You probably look at Spot selling rates for both..

Taoyuan Airport only has 2 money changer..Namely Bank of Taiwan and Megabank..

At 1603H today, it's 23.43..Impossible to drop 50c in a single day.
Bank of Taiwan

At 1600H today, 23.48..
Megabank

Both rates above are for Cash Buy(you buy from them in cash), not you sell to them in cash..

I myself have nv see Taoyuan rates hitting 24 or even 23.9 for so many years. The only bank which might hit 24 is Taiwan DBS which is not available at the airport.

Sorry to burst ur bubble but at least u got a better rate from Arcade at 23.7 than in Taoyuan..

Don't worry be happy. Surely... Both time see wrongly. If wanna prove it, do snap a shot.
Will never go wrong go prove us it is correct. I also love to change at 23.99!

looking at the trend of TWD/SGD, it seems like a sharp increase will always follow a few days/1 week after there is a drastic decrease. Just look at this website and press "3m"

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=SGDTWD=X#symbol=SGDTWD=X;range=3m

It seems like either the TW govt is pegging to SGD or SG govt is pegging to the TWD. Those who missed the dollar when its on high can just monitor for 1-2weeks and you will probably get a good rate again :)

*PS : its purely my own POV as i have been observing TWD/SGD for 2weeks already. I am not liable if you cant get a good rate

CHEERS!
