Hi

Anyone know what the rate is at the moment. Its 68 baht in thr UK, but I see the exchange is 74 baht on some sites.

Can anyone confirm what they are getting in the ATM's before I buy my cash.

Regards

Drew

73,02 is the average rate four one pound today. You buy baths a little bit more expenseive and you sell a little bit cheaper and if you use ATM you will have to pay a fee each time you take out money.

Do not exchange in the UK. You be at least two or 3 short times lighter.

Best way I could think to explain it!

Interbank spot rate is 73.85 so domifletch 73.05 is pretty good. Unless you bringing a lot of money over (>50k) then much better to exchange when you get here. Often worth checking around diffrent banks (plenty of exchange booths open 10am - 8 pm) as they may well have quite widely diffrent rates. Do NOT change in UK - even at BKK or Phuket airport you will get a better rate. Generally better rates for larger amounts £2k and up if you ask inside the bank (Bangkok Bank and KTB best I've found).
