Any aussies recently returned from Phuket, I would be grateful to know what rate you were getting for changing australian dollars to thai baht. Last year we found the rate different to that quoted on internet currency converters. Thanks in anticipation.

Sorry, don't know an exact answer as I have not tried to convert any Aus dollars.

However in general the exchange rate you get at banks and currency exchange booths tends to be pretty in-line with the daily banking rate.

Changing at a hotel usually does not give the best rates.

One other thing is that unlike the UK and maybe Aus too, you are not charged a commission on exchanges - which can make quite a difference if you're changing a lot of money.
