Pom Michael Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Dean - what do you mean by the "posted" rate? I would say normally in these types of informal exchanges, the middle of the two rates are used. So for example the rates at BKK bank on Friday:- so the informal exchange rate would be 32.38 x 5,000 = THB 161,900 Buy Rate 32.07 Sell Rate 32.69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Dean, just go to Siam Exchange across from MBK, usually the best rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioman Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Dean, just go to Siam Exchange across from MBK, usually the best rates. Really? Good to know. I've only ever used Vasu and Superrich, finding they generally had the best rates. Superrich has apps online for Android and iOS both for their green and orange shops. Do Siam Exchange have their rates online? Anyone know what the deal is with Superrich and its multiple shops across from Central World? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Penis is hungry Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Gee's if you have cash, use SuperRich, worth it for that amount of money, the one near Central is best I find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 I'm in Bangkok for most of 1 day, May 21, before catching a flight to Chiang Mai at 6. The plan is to go by Rutnin Hospital to have my eyes examined (which I do on a bi-annual basis) and then go by MBK to have a couple of Ipad screens replaced and a IPhone 6 screen replaced and sometime go by the train station to have luggage shipped to Chiang Mai. I am assuming that, on changing money, I'll be given mainly 1,000 baht notes, so that should triple the size of the wad of cash that I will be carrying securely. I would prefer to wait until I get to Chiang Mai to do the exchange but, if I do it while in Bangkok, I 'll do it before heading to Don Mueng, which would get me to postpone the eye exam until Chiang Mai or wait until June 9, my last day in LOS.

radioman Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Seems like a busy day, wouldn't you be better served to spend a few Baht and stay a night. Would take all the pressure off and allow you time to do all. And take in some maybe long missed sights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do all that in one day, plus visit a friend in Lat Yao, if I wasn't drunk again upon arrival. Which I will be, after two months without a drink and nothing to do but work...

radioman Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 I could too but strikes me it would be quite a full day, especially when you figure a few gotchas with traffic and hanging around for stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YimSiam Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 My real message: I could plan to do all that, but no way I'd get it done! I feel lucky if I'm able to do any one item on the list - except for the money changing, I'm pretty good at that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioman Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hah hah, me too, I can change money into beer and pussy as fast as anyone on here I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
