Maestro Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Jasperblubber, if your friends make a special effort to buy Baht in the US they probably can get that low rate of 33.50. Bangkok Bank in Bangkok on Monday paid 35.25 for inward remittances, 34.98 for banknotes. Other banks in Thailand have similar rates. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macb Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 If your using an ATM or have on line banking Facility with your bank see what they are giving you: Nationwide (Uk bank) up to yesterday were still paying 69+ at the ATM despite the Bht being strong at the moment. Wait and see if the present slump on the share mkt has any affect resulting from the sell in I think it was China> It is effecting shares Globally at the moment although the FTSE index and Nasdeq dipped the latter hitting it lowest since 2003 and at the moment has increased it will dip again.

PeaceBlondie Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 The ATM rate in Thailand (for withdrawls of dollars from US banks) remained in the 35.85 to 35.61 range throughout Dec, Jan, and Feb. Haven't checked for March yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The rate of THB 33.50 per USD mentioned by Jasperblubber, obviously an offshore rate, is much lower than what his friends can get if they change their dollars in Thailand. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
