Exchange Rates
Can you advise what the current XR is for the GBP in Pattaya. I can get 47baht per £ but wondered if I should wait until I get to pattaya. Also Where in pattaya would you recommend or is the BKK Airport ok too. Thanks

Any bank (or exchange booth attached to a bank) will be fine. Unless you are exchanging many thousands of pounds in bank notes all in one transaction, you'll only save a few baht by hunting all over the city for the "best rate."

The Bank In Rungland Village Has The Best Rates.

I've used them frequently and I must say their boast is justified especially when you notice that the Indian tailors also use this place. Those tedious people tend to know the time of day on money issues

you can change your first night money at the airport in bangkok you won;t loose enough on your first nights spending to lose any sleep over.......with the day to day changes in exchange rate if you land on a high point the following day it could be lower in Pattaya, so insignificant to stress yourself out over very little baht

....but of course I was verey verey draaank at the taaame!!!

Last time I was there I kept a track of the best posted rate available each time I used the ATM's with my Nationwide Debit card. Not only are you not charged to use it (except at the purple coloured bank - sorry forget the name of it) but I was almost always getting an extra Baht to the pound compared to posted rates. Big fan of the Nationwide card (as has been said by many before).

Having "bigged up" the Nationwide card for being free to use, what do they go and do but now say they ARE going to charge to use it abroad from 1st of June 09. Evidently lots of people were using it JUST for that reason and not actually putting much money IN.... Makes business sense I suppose but a pisser none the less. :-(
