May I know if there is a UOB Thai branch anywhere near the airport? I'm thinking it'll be really worthwhile exchanging your currency only when you hit Thai shores but the inconvenience is something I have to think about. The exchange rates are mouth-watering.

Hi,

So is there a UOB Thai branch anywhere near the airport? Sorry for asking again, but I think I'll only be changing my currency once I reach Thai shores. It doesn't make sense to travel all the way somewhere in Bangkok for that extra exchange rate benefit so I'll really need a good money exchange service once I land. I know the airport exchange sucks.

Bro, I can only fathom that not many here bother with locating UOB branch in close proximity to airport. Airport's in middle of nowhere, daresay most will just head off to their destination hotel -not unless you thinking of nearest built up areas like Srinakarin or Bangna.

UOB/Bkk Bank rates are only indication, do not think rest deviates too much from prevailing market pricing. Yes, airports are not best places to change money.

For practical reasons, can always change enough for "seed" money from Sg (eg GM). When in town, you can looksee rates to change daily. From my experience, the lesser known banks and kiosks (than bigger Bkk Bank types) offer a shade of difference.

Not that diff will make you a rich man, unless you got a small fortune to trade. Going July (my radar's on 1/2 week).

Bro yinyang making an entrance to the Thai market when the rates are favourable. Time to cheong Thailand once again. Shorting the Thai puyings or long term investment? Hope some puyings will do contra trading. 3D/2N grace period for the cheongsters to pay up. Kekeke.

Hi Yingyang,

RonaldoNani · #**1889** 10-06-2008, 09:07 PM

People Park Complex

Trouble is, are we allowed to do margin trade? Kena short sell can be hazardous to both pocket's and own well beng (latter's worse!)

1st or 2nd week, tbd. Side dish, unlikely any snacking or bar finger food (think you get my drift). Rather pm than open disclosure of private plans
