Yesterday went Golden Mile change Thai baht. The rate I changed was 23.08. Day before the highest at golden mile was 23.10. Wow within 1 day rate drop 0.02. Before making a trip down golden mile i actually went down chinatown to check out the rate as 1 bro mention people's park centre got rate with 23.15. I found none and highest around chinatown is only 23.02. I expected rate to drop further so bros who will be going bangkok better change 1st before price continue to drop.

Just returned from bangkok at midnight, this afternoon in MBK center at the BTS station my friend changed for 1 to 22.92, not sure if its the best rate in town but that changer is a huge chain. The blue board one i think its run by some local bank and can be seen in many places in bkk.

The difference between PPC and GM is a difference of 0.06baht.
If let's say you change 1000 SGD, you get 60baht extra by changing at GM.

However the transport from PPC to GM is roughly (estimated $1 if you take MRT)
60baht approx equal to $2.60
Minus the transport of $1, still make $1.60

WORTH IT MEH? Unless you change $10000SGD, then get an extra 600baht.

Hi siamcutey,

Thanks for your breakdown. This simple calculation i also know how to count. I went there was becos I went to chinatown that day for some other things so must as well check it out for bros here. If purposely go down to check of course I know that it will not worth it. So if it is confirmed that the rate is 23.15 as what 1 bro mentioned so future bros can go there to change directly. My intention is to verify the 23.15 rate and provide info for bros here since Im there and is not becos Im so stingy to search the entire singapore for the best price. That is why there is such a thread for thai baht update. Just stating my point of view and forgive me if you think Im sounds rude to you.

"Blue" means Bangkok Bank? "Purple" means Siam Commercial Bank?

I wont weep cos she sometimes can be very fan one. Sometimes i need to sleep alone,but she insist to go lunch or come over and see me. That's why dickhead friend see me in RSAF shirt on a sunday Brunch time. Ask me to go lunch with her when i barely sleep a few hours.

talk about RSAF T-shirt, probably u might see more Thais, especially those in construction / living in slumps wearing SAF T-shirts & uniforms, hahaha.

Few months back, when I went to SG, I wanted to donate some old clothes to the poor & needy in Thailand, so besides the civilian clothes, I packed all the SAF T-shirts (Navy, Army, RSAF), uniforms, etc etc, and then bring to Thailand. Few days after touching down, a fire broke out in a slump in BKK (near the Stock Exchange), so I personally delivered all those clothes to the slump, and oso donated several thousand THB.

Tat was during winter, when u see the families hugging 2gether, under those tentages which were their temporary homes. Tat was the time where survival matters, having enuf clothes to keep warm, to protect them from cold weather. Juz nice, SAF uniforms are thick enuf for them.

So u may see "SAF personnel" around the Stock Exchange of Thailand, hahaha!!!
