What's your baht worth? Exchange rates on the street...

I just got 42.46 from TW, or maybe I should just call it W now that they've changed their name. It certainly beats the +/-37 I was getting for much of the second half of 2019, and on occasion in 2020 too. The rate's now up to 42.58 and still rising, damn, maybe I should have waited...

Ah, okay, that would explain it.

Still selfish as f**k from him, how dare he go and enjoy some quite life when i can't sleep at night not knowing if the Baht is at 39 or 41 :default_biggrin:

See, point proven, i haven't a clue what's going on since blue streak stopped posting in the thread. 

Shambles!  Potentially costing me all sort of money, 1.94 Baht is 1.94 Baht!

@Blue Streak hope you're proud of yourself, i'm near suicidal here ffs!

I just got 42.688 net of TW's charges.

No huge complaints on the exchange rate then, though obviously I'd prefer that it was back up to 50+, but why is it that I sent them the money around 2:15 this afternoon and they acknowledged receipt of it, but said that I wouldn't get my funds until 2:30 tomorrow afternoon? Other times, under almost identical circumstances, the money has appeared in my SCB account almost instantaneously. What the heck are they playing at?

Exactly the same for me where transfers usually appeared in my Thai bank straight away to now taking about 24 hours.

Reason for transfer and bank process timing seem to affect it.  Bangkok Bank for example seem to process a lot of stuff at 2:00pm so if you miss that cut off you might have to wait until 2:00pm the next day.  A different reason or routing or recipient bank can still make it almost instantaneous IME.

Got to say out of the last 3 transfers I made, 2 were in the recipients bank within 20 seconds but one did take overnight as it was made on a Sunday morning.

Sending early morning before close of business Bangkok time tends to offer a quick transfer. I send only to Kbank.
