Bumping this thread based on the other recent post about trying to find this thread lol.
Vacationing in Thailand isn't as cheap as it used to be. Primarily because over recent years a lot of other currencies (USD, GBP, CAD) have gotten weaker while the Thai baht has gotten stronger.
As of this writing in 2019,
1 HKD = 3.9312 THB
1 USD = 30.8426 THB
1 CAD = 23.1580 THB
Back on this day in 2015,
1 HKD = 4.5469 THB
1 USD = 35.2648 THB
1 CAD = 26.9715 THB
Thailand is one of those rare countries where the foreign currency exchange booths at the airports don't rip you off. My favourite one is Superrich in the Basement Level - the same level where you go to take the Airport Rail Link. The rates at this Superrich are the best but really the difference between them and every other forex booth is only a couple of cents. Exchanging at the airport just makes it convenient as you'll have cash on hand before you head into the city. But there are forex booths in a lot of the large malls and again the exchange rates between most of them are negligible.
Random comment... "Baht" is one of those nouns that's the same both singular and plural. Other examples of this would be deer, Chinese and aircraft. Bahts would be incorrect. It's just baht. Not bath. It's baht. | |

Actually the exchange booths at the airport do rip you off, except for the SuperRich and the other ones around it. Anyt ... |
