Currency exchange besides banks in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand?
We've arrived in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand after the banks are closed and would really like to exchange our left over Malaysian ringgit for Thai baht.
I've walked all around the area around the Phra Pathom Chedi and the train station and banks seem to close as early as 3.30pm and I couldn't spot any money changers at all.
Is there a non-bank place to buy baht in this city?
(Yes of course I realize I can go to an ATM but for reasons that will just bloat the question and drift off my topic I'd appreciate answers only about exchange please.)

Nahkon Pathom is not exactly a hotbed of tourism. While a fair number Thai tourists visit, foreign visitors are a small minority. And without foreign tourist traffic, there is not much demand for exchange services. About your only choices will be banks and a few hotels (which you likely have discovered already).
