Gaybutton Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 As many of you know, when I post exchange rates I always use the Bank of Ayudhya web site. That's because they give you the exchange rate you'll receive when you exchange money within Thailand and because they're the only bank that posts updates several times each day. For those of you who check the rates, Bank of Ayudhya had changed the URL for their web site. Now it is: http://www.krungsri.com/en/foreign-exchange-rates.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Doug Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Thanks for the URL. I have never taken the time to fully understand these charts. Can you explain to me which column I use to figure my rate when using an ATM in Thailand? Thanks for your advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaybutton Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Can you explain to me which column I use to figure my rate when using an ATM in Thailand? Under the heading "BUY," look at the subheading "Sight." That's the approximate rate you'll get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atri1666 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Using ATM it can be only orientation because my bank will charge at the day when they get it in europe. For me its only useful when i change cash or checks and i look the first row for buying euro for cash and 3rd row for checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lvdkeyes Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 My US bank charges the rate at the time I make a withdrawal. As I have said here before, I always get a slightly higher rate than what is posted here or on the various sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahjongguy Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Kasikornbank updates thrice daily. For an ATM withdrawal, the "Telex Transfer" rate should be your guideline. If your overall cost, including any and all fees paid to the originating bank and/or the ATM-providing bank, is no more than 1% then you are getting a reasonable result. http://www.kasikornbank.com/portal/site/KB...00056f8f30aRCRD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaMale Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I have bookmarked the link GB supplied since it gives good information, but what does "unq" stand for? I am guessing it might mean unquoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
