You overlapped there apologies
-
No its not is it ?? All those figures relate to either handing over your own countries currency for Baht or in reverse handing back Baht to be exchanged back into your own currency ??
-
I'm having a senior citizens moment here. Simple question. If I hand over a £10 note how many Philipines Peso do I get on that chart ?? Or is the selling rate based on how many Thai Baht you hand back to the exchanger. I cant enlarge the figures besides the currency symbol. Its got to be related to Thai baht on selling ?? No ??
-
I would certainly be interested in buying some Peso from TT or another exchanger.
-
This is getting concerning. Just been watching reports and air travel could be curtailed drastically if this continues to spead as quickly. Now reports of 10,000 cases as opposed to 600 yesterday
-
Yep 40.06 at time of post. Should put TT's around 39.90 give or take Baht weakened out against the Greenback up/down depending on point of view to 30.52 interbank at time of post
-
Sterling was 39.72 just before TT closed
-
Others continue to claim pen marks make notes unacceptable. How is it that I have only EVER had ONE note rejected which was pretty bad I agree and a 2nd for an outright forgery. (only a tenner as well I gave it back to Tesco for shopping seeing it came out of their ATM ??) So 1 single note in decades rejected for scribbling dirty or torn. What am I doing differently. ! Out of interest that really grubby note rejected at TT I changed around the corner in Sabai exchange under Atlantic bar Its like an enduring story that does the circuit and an internet myth has somehow become an intern
-
Should be higher now Sterling has been rising all morning. Probably live at the TT exchanges should be around 39.55 at the moment

Leave it 24 hours refresh the page after clearing cache. I know that sounds daft but occasionally I get what you seeing where it says you need to become a member etc etc. Sometimes I cant bypass it myself as well so pick another site. Putlockers I think is a "cousin" of the 123 movies site and all its variations
-
Well am using Firefox (as always) just occasionally it defaults to HD which requires memebership (apparently). I just close that window and refresh. Its pretty reliable 9 times out of 10

It might improve in the final 40 minutes but I'd had enough for sure

I have just watched and finally aborted the Movie "1917" after 1 hour 20 of a 2 hour film. How anyone can say this rivals Saving Private Ryan needs their head wobbling I kept on thinking it will improve but in the end gave up after 80 minutes. What a load of shight

I had absolutely no idea that two Series of 10 episodes each had been made in 2017 based on the "Snatch" movie from Guy Ritchie It a similar caper with same laughter idiocy guns and everything else in between with Robert Grint playing one of the leads as an upper class toff and completely cocking it up. I've watched first 4 episodes of series one. They're not overly long at 40 odd minutes each and great time filler They're on the Putlockers streaming site no registration required and didnt even have to close out any adverts. Search "Snatch" in the box and it pulls up the two series a

Tell me about it Teelak. This time last year arrived back into Heathrow to find as normal Egate wont let me through. It worked first time 8 years ago when passport reissued but never since. Redirected to manual check. Not for the first time immigration guy says you're brown where have you just come from. Bangkok via Muscat on Oman I respond politely as always. He's looking at the passport carefully looking obviously for a fake etc and asks me VERY casually wheres "Nordsee Clinic" then...... I'm looking at him am obviously a bit tired but I know what he's asking but more to the point how
-
I've been sat here for an hour racking my brains (which definately are ageing) trying to recall if I have ever missed a connection or even remotely close to it and I cant think of a single one...... Over the decades on average 1.5 hours to 2 hours on average I'd say. Theres been a few where the connections have been an hour or less (Oman and Qatar spring to mind) where they've been redirecting off arriving gate etc etc but no more than that.... My mate will ring me later and say you tosser what about this one lol ! Nope I cant think of a single one lol

Phillipine NAIA suspending flights due to volcanic eruption.
Rawhide2 replied to Butch's topic in Idle Chit Chat
A diversion into Clark in February would suit very well ?? -
lol that reminds me of Eva delayed out of Bangkok must have been around 2006 (ish) due to heavy fog at Heathrow which at sat their already for a day and showed no sign of shifting. Planes arriving at Heathrow had double seperation hence the delay leaving Bangkok We're way late due in around 10.15pm (turnaround was aborted that night) and we could see from screens obviously that we're on final descent. Couldn't see absolutely anything out of the windows no lights nothing. Suddenly theres one helluva bang and lurch. Probably at least half the passengers screamed and I definately shouted som

I've always thought that was a load of bullshit. I saw £220 quoted on one figure when I was playing around with it last month. I find TW very easy and quick to use. Last time it was less than 60 seconds from pressing send (to TW) and then logging into bank to find it already there. Apparently is the norm now if you send Monday thro Thursday but not the other 3 days
-
No problem. Lets have a look at say £2000 an amount that I would likely send to fund trips whilst in town Bangkok Bank would be 78,340 but a reduced landing fee of 300 so 78,040. No sending fee assumed TW would be 78.614 still better bottom line If your bank say charged £10 to send (average I guess) than you'd have to knock that BB figure by 400 baht effectively
-
ok lets have a look real time. We can only go by current Bangkok Bank landing rate for incoming TT monies though course they could go up but also down If you're sending completely free than £10,000 would land at 39.17 so 391,700 Baht minuus 500 Baht local fee so 391,200 £10,000 from Transferwise would land at 393,464 so 2,264 baht more Also doesnt take into account that most transfers we send are not free of charge but on BB example above we did. To me TW still comes out on top as long as you do bank transfer rather than debit credit card.....if your own bank charges to send as
-
ok there is the difference. Amount was for £10,000 transfer......£30 more but for the life of me I cant see why when debit card involved
-
Cant see that TW have increased charges Jacko ?? £1000 was £7 and £5000 was £30.07 so just over £6 per 1k (as of few minutes ago) I tried trawling back on my account but it only shows the amount of Baht paid out. Am pretty sure £1000 was £6.93 before from memory Edited....I dont use debit card to fund I transfer direct from online banking. I think its marginally cheaper
-
Yep its on their own website and actually quotes shorter connection of 30 minutes. Date was random.... @Brown1950 is that viable ??
