kenjin Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Just thought I`d check what the local rates are, I use always use XE website for my exchange rates. It stated as follows: 1 GBP = 63.5569 THB 1 EUR = 43.0139 THB 1 USD = 31.5768 THB Which has got me a little worried seeing as that will be as low as its been for years! BUT! checking on Thai Visa's exchange rate GBP Pound Sterling 69.056 THB EUR Euro 46.9065 THB USD United States Dollar 34.4887 THB So which one is correct? hope its the Thai Visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphrey Bear Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Just transfered some money in from Isle of Man to Kasikorn today and got 68.88 baht to 1 pound My Forex conversion table has been at 64 - 65 Baht for a few weeks now, but I hadn't checked. So the rate has not changed much over the past couple of weeks - just depends which conversion table you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
