That's too good to miss, I'll bring a grand or two over, if I wait for it to go up further next week then it'll probably crater again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 5/16/2023 at 10:45 PM, Krapow said: It's been round that for a while now. Erdogan will win the run off, then it'll take another dive due to his lunatic economic policies. I only change about £100 before i go, then bring sterling to change there, better rate. Plus we always go All Inclusive in Turkey, so apart from diving or clothes etc, don't spend that much. The only way they're getting rid of Erdogan is when he dies. Now over 30 ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just click on the currency next to the language symbol. Or did I miss your point lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say that Booking.com didn't exist in 97/98 because there was only Agoda operating then.. So I checked and I am totally wrong !! Booking started in '96 and Agoda in 2005!!! My excuse is that the Agencies did all the hotel/flight reservations for me then (or Company secretaries)!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if this is normal, but I remember lots of better Hotels in Bali and Thailand switched their prices to USD during 1997/1998 .. 🤷♂️ No idea. Our Turkey trip is a package booked with Easyjet at Xmas past, paid in £. Well, deposit paid, don't pay the rest until September. We rarely use Lira there, except for taxis, markets etc. We go all inclusive so don't spend much, plus the locals prefer £'s or €'s for obvious reasons. I don't want to derail this Baht thread, but as I said at the time, when Erdoğan won the Lira would again fall. That said, he's appointed more 'conventional' economic people now, so it should steady and recover a bit I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krapow Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 So is Wise the best transfer service everyone uses going by this thread? Might sign up and send some with the 44. Do it by Bank transfer via Wise, not by card via Wise, yea, or no difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise is cheaper than UK Banks for transfers and it usually takes seconds to get there , I pay Wise using my debit card and authorise on the app , then get a confirmation from Bangkok Bank almost immediately 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
