Today in the UK the Post Office Buying Rate Thb 58.02 to £1; compared to Bkk Bank 61.35 to £1.
Post Office Selling Rate 68.08 Thb to £1; compared to Bkk Bank 63.07 to £1 !!
Would mean changing £100 to Thb and straight back again at Post Office would return £85.22 !!
Wonder why there's such a big spread in the UK to change foreign currency over the counter compared with Thai banks/booths?
P.S. Not having a go at the Post Office in particular, their rates are pretty standard for all banks etc. in UK.
