bridge Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 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. http://bankexchangerates.daytodaydata.net/default.aspx Regards bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun Bob Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 ...* 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. Do they only deal in cash, perhaps? For banknotes, I see them at the top of the list, ie giving the best rate. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun Bob Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 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 : http://www.superrich1965.com/Eng/about.aspx but had problems registering and sent them an email through the contact us facility. I was astonished to get a reply and within 7 hours ! : -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Contact Us - Cant register Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:56:38 +0700 From: Superrich1965 Superrich1965 <[email protected]> References: <200907270959717.SM08824@nineweb7> trying to fix the system, sorry.

bridge Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 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.

Misty Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 As a back-up check, check out the exchange rate information posted on the Bank of Thailand's websites: www.bot.or.th/English/Statistics/FinancialMarkets/ExchangeRate/_layouts/Application/ExchangeRate/ExchangeRate.aspx and www.thaifxrates.net/ Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
