Faustian Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi is showing 51.5. I've not been to a bank or money exchanger for quite some time, so I'm unaware of rates in Thailand, but in the past I've usually gotten about 2 Baht less per pound than the above rate. It still sux. I was getting 67 to a Pound 8 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So thats up from a low of 41 last month!! I always look at the Bangkok Bank Foreign Exchange Rates . They're a reliable source for the rates you get in LOS.

Barry Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 49.7804 today. I don't see any reason for it to get better either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 The pound has taken a hit in the last couple of days. Works for me though. :content: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Saw yesterday the baht was 36.35 to the dollar. Will it reach 38 by June? I hope so. It has been about 2 years since I saw 38 baht to the dollar. It seems to be losing against the dollar a little bit each month, slowly but surely.

Faustian Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yep, the pound sunk again in a reaction to the bullshit of a couple of days ago. Now they are saying the pound will be under pressure all this year, but a few weeks back the "experts" were saying the pounds weakness was temporary. Experts, eh? The quantitative easing method is supposed to be responsible for the long term weakness, that the BOE is now starting to employ. Billions of new pounds coming into the market. I'm thoroughly depressed about it. My money is mostly in pounds and all I can do is just leave it there for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
