What is a decent exchange rate for GBP to THB when traveling to Thailand?
I’m coming to Thailand in a few weeks and not sure what is a decent exchange rate at the moment. I’m in the UK and the best rate I can find is 41.740
Does anyone know of this is good?
Thank you

Answer summary
The current exchange rate for GBP to THB has been noted at around 41.740, with various comments discussing rates between 43 to 44 baht to the pound. Suggestions include bringing cash and using exchanges like Superrich for better rates in Thailand, as well as options like Wise for transfers. It's advisable to have pristine £50 notes for better exchange rates and to only change a small amount at the airport for immediate expenses.

It is always higher here. Rarely makes sense to exchange at home. Just pull some money from an ATM on arrival. The fees amount to about 1%, if you take out close to your daily limit.

There is no decent rate . It changes everyday depending on eventd you don't know about and will not control
So the decent rate is to day's rate when you need the cash . Dome days you lose some days you win ..this you learn once you've been traveling around

Currently, it seems the baht is going down against the US dollar. If I was in similar circumstances I would wait until last minute.

Come with cash .
Change just enough at the airport for taxi and food . Then find a superich exchange for the rest .
If you have someone in thailandcwith a bank account do a transfer from UK to them. That will be even better .

You may get a slightly better rate with £50 notes, but make sure they are pristine and no writing or tears otherwise they’ll be rejected.

Download the SuperrichTH app to see instant updates on the rates you’ll likely get on the streets. Most kiosks will be pretty similar so unless you’re changing thousands you’ll not see any real differences.

Bring GBP cash and change at superrich at BKK
