Its very near to Holiday Inn Express. Less than 2 minute walk. Damn convenient. I managed to get between 24.87 to 24.8 the last few days where by all other banks in BKK indicate bet 24.45 to 24.35.

Kop Ku Kap Mak Mak for your recommendation.

Have you tried Vasu Exchange or Superrich both in bangkok? I always find them better than any exchange in bangkok.

At the same time, Mustafa in Singapore gives better rate than Vasu and Superrich.

Is it Mustafa gave the best rates.?? I'm not sure.

Just confirm that Kasikorn Bank (K Bank) locate in airport link level 3 quote a higher rate than the other banks
in the airport terminal. This going to cause some competition among the other banks at the airport. The same standard rates also apply with their other K bank branches nationwide.

Baht loss biggest of 2012....

Published: 25/05/2012 at 07:12 PM
Online news:

The baht had its biggest weekly drop in 2012 as foreign funds reduced holdings of local stocks amid concern that Europe's debt crisis will slow global economic growth.

The currency fell for a fourth week as global investors sold nearly 7.3 billion baht more worth of local stocks than they bought in the past five days, data from the Stock Exchange of Thailand showed.

The SET Index finished the week down 1.9% from the previous Friday, its third successive weekly decline.

"Investors are risk-averse and stock markets and Asian currencies can still test the weaker side,” said Nalin Chutchotitham, an analyst at Kasikornbank.

"Importers may be buying the dollar as well because month-end demand is usually high and also because they are worried that the dollar may rise further."

The baht was trading late Friday in Bangkok at 31.66/68 to the dollar,compared with 31.57/59 on Thursday and down 1.1% for the week, the most since the week of Dec 12-16.

The yield on the 3.25% government bond due in June 2017 rose five basis points to 3.56% this week, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Is that the reason why today no stock of bahts at the moneychangers?
Went round to Toa Payoh Central, Toa Payoh HUB, People's Park Complex and Pearl Centre to change some bahts...... all say no stock.

Food for thought.

Why should we change our SGD's to Baht's in Singapore since we can get a much better rate in Thailand itself. (we going to Thailand, that's why we want Baht right?)

Well we do need some spending money upon arrival in Thailand but that is only a small sum needed hence we don't save much changing it at a good rate money changer.
