I use this site for money conversion. Helps me keep it straight when someone says this or that costs 2000 THB. When I come to the "Land" will have to make myself a table of American $$$ to Bhat. http://www.x-rates.com/calculator.html

[dogblower]

For time conversion, I just set the forum page on Thai time. My wristwatch takes care of local time.

The xe.com site was quoting the offshore baht rate, i.e., if you are buying baht outside Thailand. The bank site is the rate within Thailand. Complicated explanation behind the differences, but has to do with the capital controls the Thai govt. imposed. It only affects the offshore rate directly, not the domestic onshore rate.

I know that most of you use just for currency converstion. However, I use another site called converit.com. In addition to currency, there are other conversions like weight and measurement. It helps us Yanks who still don't use the metric system.

 

Again www.convertit.com (BTW, I have no affiliation with the site).

[wolfy]

For more accurate currency rates go to the local LOS banks and check their exchange rates as they are what you will recieve if you change your money in country. The one I use is The Bank of Thailand you will see the currency convertor there and you can check past dates as well to see what it has done. HTH T

I used to use the xe.com currency converter but that now gives the exchange rate outwith Thailand. I now use this one - http://www.uob.co.th/business/foreign-exchange-rates.htm as this gives the rates you will get in Thailand.

Government really worried about baht

 

http://www.pattayatoday.net/index.php?acti...ews&id=2237

 

Thailand’s competitiveness under threat The Bank of Thailand is considering new measures on cooling the sharp appreciation of the baht to help local exporters and entrepreneurs, said the bank’s governor Tarisa Watanagase (pictured). She explained she wanted to stabilise the baht to assist investors and exporters from being hit by too high an exchange rate.

 

The baht has been quoted of late at less than 34.5 baht to the US dollar, a nine year high against the greenback, amid fears that Thailand’s exports would become too expensive and its international competitiveness undermined. A too high exchange rate makes imported goods cheaper, thus fuelling domestic spending, whilst applying a break to exports.Pramon Suthiwong, chairman of the Thai chamber of commerce, said one likely measure was to cut interest rates by as much as one percent, howbeit on a gradual basis. Some state assistance to industrial sectors was also under review. The recent advance in the baht’s value has also angered some tourists who have seen their first country currency lose up to 15% of its face value over the past year.

That's handy, thanks heaps...

For quick calculations to work out relative amounts for THB to USD I divide by 30 (used to be 40) and for GBP I divide by 70 then knock a bit off for rounding down

[Taltos]

The reply from Eneukman got me thinking. If I use the ATM with my CC or debit card I am using the offshore rate, right? But if I use Travellers check inside the banks I use the onshore rate.

If you use your ATM, you should get the internal rate. I used my UK credit card to buy air tickets from Air Asia 2 or 3 months ago and it was converted at the internal rate. Cashing travellers cheques, you will also get the internal rate.

 

Some banks have a charge for using your ATM abroad. Nationwide's flex account doesn't have any charges plus they give you pretty close to the true market rate.

Using foreign currency is tough if your drunk! It seems like "monopoly" money and you dont realize how much you've spent until you wake up!

What is the current recommendation.....traveler's cheques or ATM card use when in Pattaya?

[blueboy0510]

I always use ATM card but to ensure all the charges do not bite too much I take out the maximum the ATM machine allows (10,000-15,000 or 20,000) depending on the max allowance. That way you only get one ATM fee, one foreign

exchange charge from your bank back home. I find this much better than taking out 3/4000 each day

Here is a pretty good site that shows the rates at banks in Thailand. It is up to the minute, too. http://bankexchangerates.daytodaydata.net/default.aspx Also from reading the forums I believe you can get some good rates at the money exchange kiosks throughout Pattaya. And for some reason Traveler's Checks get a better rate, but cost 33 Baht to exchange. If you had a $500.00 TC it might be worth exchanging instead of dollars. Please correct me if I am wrong on any of my info.

Also, here is something that has been discussed before. But, should be helpful. Counterfeit Baht notes. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2008/12/23...al_30091635.php
