Great Website For Getting Up-to-date Exchange Rates

[bridge]

Firstly, I hope the mod's do not pull this thread (for posting a link), as it really is a very useful resource for TV members who want up-to-date THB exchange rates across all Thai banks.

In one click you can get the exchange rates of a particular currency from all the major banks - and when they were last updated. Also, gives the % difference between lowest to highest.

Lastly - I am in no way connected with this site, but it so good that I thought others would want to know about it.

It is a good site.

Few observations/questions :

* Seems it just has Thai banks, although there are many currency pairs

* Siam City Bank seems to have the best rates throughout TT - are they in trouble at the moment or have they always given the best rates ?

* Where are the Super Rich rates published ? Has anyone actually get the rates they published when they visited the place as it seems to be a bit of a shady place when I went there, but I have heard many people say good things about it.

I have only used it for the AUD/THB cross. I think if you use if for any other cross other than THB, it wont return a result.

Do they only deal in cash, perhaps? For banknotes, I see them at the top of the list, ie giving the best rate.

Maybe I wasnt so clear. Your right that Super Rich just deal in cash (maybe Trav Cheques and Gold too - not sure). I just wanted to know the URL for Super Rich's exchange rates. The website mentioned here is just a screen scraper & aggregator so it must be getting the values from somewhere - this is what I would like to know.

From past posts I have seen that there are 2/3 places that give very good rates for cash - Super Rich, somewhere near pantip plaza and somewhere in China Town, I think. This is going back a few years from TV posts...

I got rates for THB to GBP and it listed just Thai organisations, but when I tried GBP to MYR, it said something like no data available. So I guess it is just taking Thai organisations data at the moment ?

Anybody more then me think that super rich is actually behind this website it always show the best rates.

Only for cash, which compared to the others listed, I would expect SuperRich to be the best.

Have a look at TT or some of the others and you will see Siam City Bank is typically best...

As an aside, I treid to get an account on Super Rich's website :

I've been using http://www.xe.com for years for all my international banking. More specifically http://www.xe.com/ucc/ or http://www.xe.com/ucc/full/.

The rates are fairely rounded, updated regularly and consistently

Hey Garry,

I had a look at that site you posted. It is good, like Oanda, but it doesn't really show what actual exchange rate I would get if I walked into a Thai Bank right now to exchange money. For example, it showed AUD/THB at 28.2154. Now, I certainly know that no Thai bank is offering that rate at this very moment.

The best thing about the site I posted about (see OP) is that it shows the rate available now from most of the leading banks in Thailand. I always use it before I change AUD, and it has always saved me money, or should I say got me more THB, as I only go to the one that offer the best rate. Hasn't let me down yet.
