It's all my fault.

Walking along buckhou yesterday morning, I stopped at the tt by 18coins to change some gbp. My walking companion almost wet himself as the girl lowered the rates in front of me to 44.28. 

I changed 400, and off to big c we toddled.

On the return journey the rates had increased again. I didnt need any more....

Incidently, the same tt booth has rejected one £50 note 3 times, as a corner has been torn off. Yesterday they exchanged it with no problem...

I think the new UK plasticised notes have made changing cash here a lot easier.  I found they were rejecting up to 10% of what was offered to them.  I still prefer to use transfer-wise (Wise) as it avoids the problem of damaged notes.

Somebody taking the mick. By recent standards, the pound had a good day yesterday.

It has been consistently lower here on the street than in Pattaya. Plus they generally tend to fix the rate low for the weekend. Fortunately I don't have to change cash these days.
