Most of the well-known money exchanges in Thailand have bettr rate than Singapore.

some of the chinese textiles shops in Prathunam also have money changing facility. no harm trying.

the rates were better than banks/money changers

speaking from past visits some years ago.

the name starts with BKK or BBK, its on the extreme left of the building, next to the petrol station.

the rate was not bad..about S$1 - THB23.10

Was at Golden Mile on Thursday , 26th Feb. BKKs rate was 2296. The small money changer nearest to BKK was offering 2298. Sometimes BKK offers the better rate than smaller money changers, sometimes other way around.

Been a long time since my last visit to LOS. Last time I was there the rate was 2500. Need to start going again.

With budget airlines & better exchange rates, things are looking up.

Hi Bros ..

Just came back from LOS last night ... rates in most bank exchange was 22.87 ... BTW, just open my bank account there with Bank of Ayudhya ... with on-line banking activated liao ... just need to give passport and minimum amount (Baht) and a local address .... and that's it ... if for those who are interested.

bro... please re-confirm if u open the bank account under your name? or joint account with your teerak?

the last i checked with Bangkok Bank that a work permit was needed to have the online banking service.

but for opening of a normal savings account, any foreigner with passport and local address will do.

Yup, I activated my on-line banking over here just with my bank account and pin ... and already viewing my accounts ... here in Sillypore.
