Travelled Pattaya - BKK - Hua Hin on Monday. You already have the correct info above. Temp on my bus was 19oC and very comfortable. Itβs also still 100thb to get dropped off at your hotel. Checked Grab and it would have been much more.
That is a lot. The other good thing with Wise is you have control of when the cash is exchanged into THB. Watch the exchange rate and exchange it into THB when the rate is at its best.
Your Bangkok bank is the one you will have to check. It will be paid into your account in Australian Dollars and they will exchange it into THB. My bank in Spain rip me off by exchanging at 3% less than the spot rate. Might not sound much, but itβs a lot out of your pension. I would also recommend WISE. I am seriously considering having my pension paid in there.
