Nowadays it is hard to change large amounts og baht at the Singapore money changers. Most will let you change up to Sgd$500.00 at most.

I have found a better way to have my baht for cheonging. Citibank has very good exchange rates and since they do not charge any fees for overseas ATM withdrawal I just withdraw from the ATMs in LOS and let them convert at the favourable exchange rate.

So much more convenient than having to hunt for money changers.

I am expecting baht to go further south as a lot of companies are rebuilding after the flood and they are selling baht for other currencies to buy in the materials. Supply of baht is greater than demand and this will generally cause the currency to weaken further. Plus I think MAS have already announce that they will allow S$ to gradually appreciate, we may be looking at close to 25 one day. I hope.

Anyway, rates at Tanjong Pagar market 24.45, money changer beside bakery stall.

UOB Thai - 24.22 bahts
Siam Exchange - 24.55 bahts

MAS stand on S$ holds up. But not necessarily post flood re-building sellout. Thai exports, FDI growing ..so influx capital, trade flows may up the thb. Well, it's outside we ikan bills control ..follow market rate

True, so when you need to change for your next trip pocket money to Lampang via Cnx or Bkk.
