Hello Babybella



We have just returned on Saturday and we used the money exchange booths quite a few times at airport,shopping malls etc and we always had a rate of 68+.(68.80 being the highest)



I would advise you to take Sterling notes and they exchange them



with no trouble at all.



Hope you have as good a trip as we did.



A must do by the way , is the Rehab centre and Friday night bbq with Richard. Brilliant night at the Sunshine Bar.

so would you agree that taking some baht for the 1st couple of days then chaging english pounds once we get there?




Yes babybella you could take a small amount , but honestly as soon as you get through customs etc there are so many exchange booths , but to give you peace of mind , we did take a small amount with us from the U.K.



Just as a thought if you are tempted to take duty free liquor from the U.K. ,its not worth it. We found that gin,vodka,whisky etc were all much cheaper in the shops over there .




What about sterling travellers cheques? What sort of rate do you get when you are cashing them in. R they worth taking or best to use atm




i always take some t/cheques with me as back-up, get them from the post office, there in us dollars--no fees



change them in the exchange booths, but there is a small fee charged per cheque , so try to get big denominations instead of lots of small demominations



the exchange rate is as good as cash is i think



you could take enough to pay the hotel bill (don,t change them in the hotel though)



when u go to change them take your p/p and room key




you should get about 70bht to the pound at the moment in thailand when i was last there it was about 73, the bht has strenghtend a bit



dont change any money in the uk you dont need to change a small amount at the airport but check what rate their offering first

dont change any money in the uk --you dont need to--



change a small amount at the airport in bankok or phuket but check what rate their offering first (REPOST--SORRY)




I got sterling travellers cheques do u still get more or less same rate at usd should i change them into us dollar ones.




i think they are both as good as each other j/p




hi babybella,





have a great trip and we,ll probably see you at the bbq on the 24th (we are planning to do the 24th and the 1st december)



then you can give us your tips





happy holidays marie + mel
