I still don't get why XE is always "off" a bit every time
I will owe someone say 50K baht ...... so I check XE, they say it's about 1700 US [changes daily of course, usually lower grrrrr] and I send that and I am light by 5K baht or so ...... so the next time will send 1900US and they tell me "hey, you sent too much!" Then she says "It's not enough, me going back to work bar now". Damn, I hate it when THAT happens
It seems like guesswork to me since currency fluctuations happen so often..... but is indeed pretty close for the most part.Guilt is Gods way of telling you you're having too much fun.

Do only what you think it's good for you, and not what others think should be good for you!

(Grinder @ Mar. 21 2008,22:35) I always use XE but when I come to this site and UTFSE I want to find posts and not go to the XE site!
Must be for the sponsors/boyfriends??
I like getting a rise out of the LB's when it comes to discussing how much they want for sex... .... "how about 1.5 million?" as eyes light up ...... errr, who said anything about Baht, I use the Dong!!

my first trip to 'Nam in 98 it was about 1.4 million to 100 [see, our currency DOES rise against some people! 3rd-world or not heh]. I cashed in 100 bucks and was walking around with 2 pocketfuls, think about how much 1.4 million is in cold currency! When the largest bill is only 50K .....makes you feel like a target.
Now, like everywhere, Vietnam has wide acceptance of Visa and ATM's all overGuilt is Gods way of telling you you're having too much fun.

you're killing me, Jim .....we get like 31.5 now!!
Grrrrr ...... my first travels there it was around 44 ..... a few years before that it was at 55!!
good thing I am not going back anytime soon I guess, I have a lot of stuff going on here anyway and the exchange is horrible. unfortunately though some friends and co-workers were casualties of the weak dollar and lost their jobs, never a pleasant thing to see.Guilt is Gods way of telling you you're having too much fun.

buttafly, you want the good news or the bad news?
Before the US economy drags itself out of the recession it is heading into now, expect it to get much worse.
I am tempted to mention a figure but no-one really knows just how bad it can get.
And the ramifications of all this turmoil are not fully understood, just don't expect things to stay the same.Despite the high cost of living, it continues to be popular.

(daveduke007 @ Mar. 23 2008,01:08) Can anyone tell me what the exchange rate is for thai baht to a £ actually "IN" los please and cheer me up
Only got 59baht to the £ on an exchange with Western Union this morning
Bangkok Bank website: Bangkok Bank
GBP buy 60.96 sell 62.68 Baht.
If you were to send a wire transfer direct to the account you may get a better exchange rate, but check the bank fees on both sides (sending and receiving banks) to make sure you come out ahead compared to Western Union.

I do normally only use "Cash" when I go to los so I'm hoping the baht is more near to the 68-70 level to the £ when I go back in May as it was in November when I got 70 baht to the £
I went to the Co-Op Travel this morning and was suggested to use this for sending money to "er indoors"
http://www.travelex.co.uk/uk/persona...ault_CPPC.aspx
You get two cards so I can give one to her when I go over
It doesn't seem a bad deal charging £5-50 to put money on the card and £2.50p to withdraw off it compared to the Western Union charge of £33 to send money toYour got yer Mother in a whirl
Shes not sure if your a Boy or a Girl
