Probably still get better rates at a TT booth though I expect.

Just what we need to add to the other 100 exchange booths. But the rate will be so bad that no one will use it.

As if there is a shortage of exchange booths in Pattaya. 2/3 have terrible extorting rates. Still working as a trap for the newbie/naive.
