Thats the highest I have seen the dollar against the Baht. Hope the conversion rate is close to that when I get there.
The pics Jacko are post are what you would get at the time the pic was taken.
You can check the rates yourself at TT exchanges homepage.

When I landed at Swampy on this trip wandered down to the basement level to see if the FX booths down there were open Good news - they are open. Upstairs at arrivals was 39.95 to 1GBP, down there it was at 42.95!!!

That is a fair old difference.... 7%. Was that Superrich?

Little known fact. If you're changing large amounts, HAGGLE! Politely of course. Every little helps these days.

The only place I knew that you could "ask" and for the life me cant remember their trading name (had several branches) but one was upstairs in Tops on Pattaya Klang

Open style of shop and from memory doubled as Travel agent

Bloody dementia is killing me as it did my mother !

I have heard of other people doing this so maybe more widespread than you think. On the downside there are many exchange booths that closed during Covid so maybe less competition will affect the willingness of booth operators to do a deal.

I have been told of a new exchange place in town, that competes with and maybe betters the exchange rate offered by TT. Anyone in town want to check that out...? It is called Damini Co Ltd, on Soi Post Office (13/2). Just up from the Post Office itself towards 2nd Rd.

I went there a few weeks ago to see if they would change some US $ which TT were refusing on the basis that they were dirty. Damini said the same. Brought the notes back to London and changed them with absolutely no problem.

But were their rates better than TT?

Drove past a T-T booth today.  Believe they were showing 36.22 to the USD.  36.29 on a credit card purchase.

Not as far as I know. But the DKK is closely linked to the EUR.

It was the same four weeks ago but only in the weekend. This time it has been since Thursday.
