How old are you? The Brewer's Almanac for 1921 says that a pint of beer in cost sixpence and you can remember paying sixpence farthing (16 pints for a pound).

Confusion old pence and new pence. 1921 was old pence, 6d = 2.5p equivalent. 16 pints for a pound is 15d each - i.e. 1/3. I can't quite remember that, but was serving beer at 1/10 (22d = 9.17p) a pint in 1972 in my local. At 300p per pint in 2019, that's average 7.7% pa inflation over those 47 years.

imho, you'd do well to keep as much money as possible in THB - appreciation against GBP seems likely. You can also use www.caxtonfx.com to transfer money easily at good rates, once you have your bank account set up.
