Hi
Im Coming to Patong Dec 27th (Im hardly sleeping now!) and I wondered about what to do about changing money. Last time I just did the usual tourist thing and brought couple hundred quid in Baht and the rest travellers cheques. I used ATMs as well I didnt worry too much about exchange rates at the time or how much changing cheques or ATMs was costing.
As Im probably going to bring more cash (2k?) this time in sterling I wondered what regular BMs do about changing money or getting the best rate and least hassle? My mate reckons he was told the best place to change money was the airport? Imnot sure whether thats Phuket or Bangkok ?Any opinions? Thought I would just put the dosh in the safe at the hotel.....is that really safe???
Advice welcome bearing in mind money saved means more ringing of the bell at MTB! So its all in a good cause!
