dollar to baht

[yesiam 0]

I stayed in Pattaya during March 2007 and will be coming back July 2007. In March the going rate was around 34.50. What is the going rate at present? (Also, I agree with other posts, airline tickets are way up right now).

Yahoo report the offshore rate which is less favourable, use this from Bangkok Bank instead Link

my mongering friend, how will your answer change your plans? March Vs. July? Up/down 10-20 percent? I know it's a lot of money in the long run but really, what will you do differently in such a short tiime change of the rate? I am faced with the same situation. The advantage you have now over last time is you now know how to save money. That can easily make up for the 10% change in rates over the last few months.

 

I'm in the same situation. I guess the answer is JUST BRING MORE BAHT.

Tenqotodo - You are exactly right....it will not change my freakin' plans one iota - I guess I was just being curious - I apologize to all for such an inane query.

not inane at all. I am constantly inundated with price flluxuations and exchange rae deviations. It does make a difference from a pendantic point of view. My opinion is its like the price of gas... It keeps going up, and I have to pay it or find a cheaper alternative. I have not. Besides, i like spinners

Thanks again for the info -- Imus, Paris, Opie&Ugly, dipstick politicians and the price of gas -- screw it, I am headin' on back to Pattaya. I have to admit though - I'd like to see a return to the days of 40-1 -- it was much easier for my mathematically-challenged brain to handle. It is time for more tattoos anyway.
