I'm looking for a currency exchange shop having a good rate (w/o commission) for converting AUD to USD, i am going to Myanmar, and i have a lot of AUD, and i want to convert them to new, crisp, clean looking US bills of all denominations, without marks, ink, stamps, or CB serial numbers, basically they should look brand new, does anyone know where I can find such a place, near a MRT, or BTS station? Today's rate, 1.00 AUD = 1.02134 USD, but i am satisfied to convert at 1:1 ratio. Thank you.
Any bank can convert your money but as far as demanding perfectly crisp, brand new unmarked bills ... I have no idea who will do that. Why do you want such pristine bills?

Many Burmese are concerned about counterfeit bills, and are very exacting on the type of bills they will accept.
strangely enough, I'm pretty sure Thai banks don't charge commision (at least from GBP to TBH).
A friend of mine came over last month and asked me whether it was best to change in UK, at the airport or at a Thai bank. I hadn't thought there would be much difference between UK and Thailand (just a guess), and presumed the airport would offer worse rates.
I had a quick search and found a few sites that said it is nearly always better to change in Thailand (when buying Baht), and that my guess about the airport was right (except for 1 branch of Kasikorn which hold the same rates at the airport as they do everywhere else)
A number of the sites I was looking at also said that Thai banks don't charge any fees or commision to buy Bahts...Thailand: Banks & Money - TripAdvisor
They make their money on the exchange rate. SuperRICH, beats out Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn by 5-10%. They have a branch near BTS Chit Lom: Google
Super Rich is good, but when I had to exchange Chinese RMB I used Siam Exchange, across from MBK. They gave better rates than any bank or Super Rich.
