breadbin Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I want to exchange THB to GBP. I think I am losing my mind but what rate am I buying GBP at? The bank/money exchanger buying or selling rate? So sorry for this one everyone, I am not sure why I am confused as lived in Thai and been many times!!' Thank you.

QED Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 You will be buying at the higher of the 2 rates. I guess the spread would be around 44-46 THB to 1 pound now, so to buy a pound with THB will cost you 46 THB. If you were changing the other way they would give you 44 THB for 1 pound. Just work out which is the worst rate for your circumstance - that's the one you will always get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breadbin Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Sorry, I meant it was just over 44 today so good for me, Bankok Bank was at 44.31. I Hope it goes to 40. I think that is clearer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
