Latest Exchange Rates?

[aussiebebe]

Hi everyone,

I've a friend arriving in Thailand next month from UK - he'd like to know what exchange rates are being offered at the airport.

Could anyone point him in the right direction? ie websites for airport companies - which ones are there? If anyone's been through recently and knows the pound-baht rates being offered it would help, but I thinking of how to help everyone in the future could a topic be pinned to provide useful information??

Cheers

Heh, I have been on here for 2 years and never noticed that until you pointed it out.

I always used: http://finance.yahoo.com/currency-converte...SD;to=THB;amt=1 (USD to THB) but will now have a different way to check. Thanks for the post sbk!

This is the only one you need, it gives you ALL the Thai Banks plus Super Rich money exchange.

You can see the differences of exchange rate in one chart instead of looking at 6 different websites, and it's constantly updated.

Not personally super rich, but how and where does one get their rate?

Many thanks for all the replies, I particularly liked the bankexchangerates websites because you can see all of them, something like this might may as well be pinned.

I have the same question. I assume Super Rich is a Thai bank? Where are they located? They certainly seem to have the best exchange rates, unless there is a gotcha in there somewhere, like an exchange fee or somesuch.

Also, last year when I visited, Travelers Checks (USD) had a better exchange rate than notes for some reason. If the Cheque option on this site is for Travelers Checks, it would appear that is not the case this year. I might change the mix I carry if someone can confirm this?

Thanks for any info...boots on ground in Bangkok in 10 days. ( 11 Oct 2009) :-)

Heh: Sorry, you need to be logged in to view this section... from your link. And after trying 5 times to register, with no clue as to why it is refusing to make the account, I give up. I swear I think I could make a fortune writing business websites in Thailand!

Enjoy your visit. I know I will enjoy mine!

You take your money along to their office and exchange, just like any other money changer.

In the UK the GB £ is worth 47.8 THB. Tell him to bring the GB £ money over here and he'll probably get somewhere in the region of 54 THB to the GB £ at a good Bank.

Try This - it will work:-

Heh, evidently SuperRich is one of those (Thai) websites that do not realize that the browsers have changed. This does not work in either IE8 or FireFox 3.5. All it does is send me to the Thai login page. It does, however, work with Safari 4.0.1. Thanks for the link. Heh, maybe they will catch up next year.

Works just fine in IE8 and FireFox 3.5

From where, and with what settings? I do not allow unfettered access to my computer, for any site. IE8 and FF3.5 did not work from Texas with either private settings or allowing the site's javascript only. Safari worked fine on default settings.

I have found this to be the case on a number of Thai (and other Asian countries) business websites. If you open the browser to allow cross-scripting and the like, yes it works, at the risk of being hijacked into a harmful site. This is a risk I am not prepared to take, and simple programming techniques would alleviate the problem. Business websites in particular should pay attention to this.

Best Regards,
