Pound against the Baht is rising!

For folks who successfully got the DTV from applying in Vietnam. Was it crucial your 500k THB be in Thai Baht or can I have it in an equivalent currency? I have the equivalent right now in Canadian dollars and want to avoid the exchange rate fees if possible.

Thank you

I am looking for some information please. I will have around 200,000GBP when I move to Thailand. Can anyone give me an idea of the best rate of interest I can get from a bank. TIA.

Isn't it more beneficial to just take Euros with you and to exchange? Pay now each atm withdrawal is 220 baht plus cost from my bank in the Netherlands? Mvg deep down

Is het niet voordeliger om gewoon euro, s mee te nemen en om te wisselen? Betaal nu ben elke atm opname 220 baht plus kosten van mijn bank in Nederland? Mvg jeroen

TRANSFER OF THB FROM BANGKOK BANK to CHF of my Swiss Cantonal Bank ?

Hello Swiss expatriates!

I am thinking of transferring part of my THB from my Bangkok Bank account to my cantonal bank (Neuchâtel) in Switzerland in CHF. Are the exchange rate and fees on both sides correct? THANKS !

Slight deviation....have just been told £50 miles with Kibg Charles on cannot be exchanged in Thailand...is this true ?

Can any tell me how to open a bank account?

Can anyone tell me how many times I can enter Thailand without a proper visa?

Can anyone give me the bus timetable from Bangkok to Pattaya?

Can any explain to me how to get a passport/visa/buy land for my new girlfriend?

Can anyone tell one tell me if it will be raining when I arrive in Thailand?

Can anyone tell me what is today’s exhange rate and where’s best to exhange money (no location specified) for a super special rate?

Do let me know if I’ve missed any.

Another shocker! At Nong Khai on the Laos side they asked me to pay in USD for my VOA just now. $40 USD for Canadian. Ofc, I didn't have it because they always ask for THB and complain that USD is not in pristine condition when you mention USD.

So ofc I overpayed 1.7k baht because its their usual scammy rate. I could have saved 350THB. Well, now they don't care about THB, they ask for USD first.

I've been crossing that border for 12 years, and it's the first time they speficially ask for USD. They even have a new pink exchanger booth on the Thai side by the photocopy booth, which I should have deduced is there for a reason.

So if you need to bounce, come here with THB and exchange on Thai side and they will take your USD and I'll save 300-400THB in bogus conversion.
