What's the best place in Udon to change Thai baht for Japanese yen? We're going to Japan end of this month, and I'd like to have at least enough hard cash to get a coffee/subway ticket when we land. I know there are exchange booths in the airport(s), but we're landing early, and the rate is usually poor at the airport. I saw PPP on the internet, near Fountain roundabout, anyone used it? Thanks.

Hello guys. I live near Sakon Nakhon in the north east. I've decided to restart an old hobby - model aircraft flying, and have just built my first balsa model in 50 years. I don't think there are any expat modellers or flyers in my area, unless anyone knows differently? There is an active Thai group here, the one guy I met spoke English and seemed helpful. There's a model shop in Udon Thani (ready built models with RC), but otherwise I'll be buying online. I'm struggling to find model aircraft suppliers (plans, kits, balsa, tissue etc) in Thailand. Online searching just brings up toy shops or ready built aircraft or plastic models - and that's fine but it's not what I'm after right now. The kit I've just built I brought back from my last UK visit - that would be an expensive way to buy them! Thanks for any help.
