Quick thought: a little while ago I realized that there was a pretty strong correlation between dividing a THB price by 10 and getting an equivalent London price in pounds...

Taxi flag fall: 35THB - £3.50

Bus journey: 7THB - £0.70

Street Food: 30THB - £3.00

Three-hour coach journey: 139THB - £13.90

Two-bedroom apartment in embassy district: 35,000 THB - £3,500

1.5 liter bottle of 'luxury' water: 14THB - £1.40

Seems to work for a lot of things, and has been helpful for getting a quick idea of relative prices here. Falls down for beer and expensive foreign food... Maybe helpful for people who've just moved from London...

I think OP means a price comparison rather than the exchange rate for £3.50 being THB35.00

I still think it's a bit wide of the mark though

As far as I know, 35 THB = 0,64 GBP. 3,00 GBP = 162 THB. So I don't know how you got to that result?

...

The flag fall for taxis in Thailand is 35THB.

The flag fall for taxis in London is £3.50.

If you divide 35 by 10, you get £3.50.

It turns out that that fits for quite a few other prices too - such as the examples above. :)
