I'm heading back to the UK in a couple of days and wanted some advice on whether it would be better to exchange baht to pounds here - at somewhere like Super Rich - or wait until I get back to the UK. Obviously this isn't my first rodeo so i know that changing it at the airport is a no-no. However with the weaker pound,I'm just considering my options. Thanks 

Not sure how good they are for GBP but when I went to Vasu Exchange to convert baht to USD, I actually got a better rate than the one I saw from Google (i.e. I got more dollars than I expected).

 

Right now Google returns GBPTHB as 42.94 and looks like Vasu will sell you GBP for 43.60 THB.  Superrich's website says they will sell for 43.70 THB.

Also, I'm guessing that there's going to be more of a market for GBP in Thailand than there will be for THB in the UK.

Change in Thailand. No question.

I don't have the numbers for UK, but if you change Baht in Germany (to Euro) you will loose about 8%.

8% is less than I remember years ago though.

Vasu seems to have best rates always

rate at airport isn't good but still far better than in your home country

Thanks fellas. Just sold my baht to GBP for 43.60. Easy place right next to Nana BTS.

wrong !

 

both the Superrich original and Superrich copycat at the entrance to the Airport Express offer EXCELLENT rates, same as at their HQ's, which in case of GBP means usually 1% spread (has been even smaller spread b4 Brexit vote).

The small Superrich Booths at BTS stations offer a much worse rate, usually not better than banks
