Sterling Account In Rachaburi

[DEREK-C]

With the Nationwide now charging 2% for obtainig cash in Thailand I'm looking for an alternative. I am advised to open a sterling deposit account then transfer into my local bank account. I have been informed that the Bangkok Bank, Sam Yaek Wang Manao branch, near Ratchaburi can open a FCD account for me. I an told the charges for receiving sterling are .25% with a min of 200 baht and max 500. Can anyone tell me from experience if this works well, and any comments on this branch. I would be grateful for any info, thanks.
