£20 in baht should see you through to Phuket (Thats about 1200 baht) Your taxi from the airport, if not a hotel pickup will be around 550-600 baht

A couple of beers and some food at the airport will only be 200/300baht or so.

You will get conflicting advise here, and its a personal thing really, but I would take sterling, and keep it in the room safe. Change your money as and when required at the moneychangers all around Patong.

Some will say use the ATM, but then you have charges, use travellers cheques, then you have to take passport everytime you want to change money.

Up to you in the end I guess.


Just reread your post. Change your money at BKK Airport. Best you'll get in UK is around 56baht -£1 in LOS it will be 61+ Doesn't sound much but it makes a difference.
