Today rate at GM $24.57
Rate sure moderate before long weekend

[jayboy]

Rate sure moderate before long weekend

Sure also. But i heard maybe after cny rate will drop abit, dono true or not.

[leaseoflife]

Demand supply laws, so not surprise if the rates will start to dip a bit with many people flying off during the long cny break.

[magician69]

i always thought that changing currency inside thailand would be better than changing in SG?

or should i just go to a citibank atm and withdraw money?

[yinyang]

.. changing currency inside thailand would be better than changing in SG?
or should i just go to a citibank atm and withdraw money?
No, imho SG's rates better than LOS (check thread out). Unless you willing to leg it to Superich outlets Bkk (not even sure if their favourable rates are correct at counter). Not that you get rich with marginal diff, unless you into big time. And ATM rates sucks, not just with bank extras but lousy rates (banks margin) -can't beat them on forex profit center.

[chezeburger]

Dear BlueDragon,

I travelled down to arcade, but was only given max 24.63. In the end i changed at PPC at the rate of 24.68.

Lunch time and I check their board for best rate on offer.
Better to walk around and check every MC counter on the 2nd floor before changing.

[kingkungfu]

can a tourist visa open bank account in thailand?

[naemlo]

can a tourist visa open bank account in thailand?

yes... mentioned before.

Thanks for the head up. I only checked out the MC at the first level near the main entrance. Didn't know there are MC on the 2nd level offering even better rates.

Baht drop drop drop !

[bapple]

can a tourist visa open bank account in thailand?

Yes, as pointed out by other bros.

However, each branch may have different policies depending on who you talk to:D

[robinllp]

Hi Guys, where is MC? In sin?

[hunterhi]

Just change at Bangkok Central World at 1600hr $24.32B... :D:p

[magician69]

Was at Chinatown Singapore yesterday.. They quoted rate of 24.65

[yinyang]

where is MC? In sin?
MC = Money Changer. Posts refer to Arcade (Raffles MRT). Pop to 2nd flr to look see rates, can be marginally better than 2 corner units at entrance 1st flr.

[robinllp]

Million thanks.

[hunterhi]

Just saw at Asoke BTS rate exchange $24.34 at 1930hr Thai time...

[kingkungfu]

Yes, as pointed out by other bros.

However, each branch may have different policies depending on who you talk to:D

bro you know which bank.done a search but can't find

[shikinta]

It's for share . Arcade best rate at 24.72.

[TonyCheong]

Arcade best rate at 24.72.

Hope can hit 25.00 soon! :D

[1stdesire]

Hope can hit 25.00 soon! :D

It will arrive, eventually. Hope I am still around to witness it.

But I believe by the end it hits 25.0, u will not change cos u will be hoping for 26.0

So what's the Magic Figure to change!

It's about Choices. Life is all about choices.

To me, anything more than 24.50 is considered a good rate to change.

[shikinta]

Hope can hit 25.00 soon! :D

Yeah hopefully. :p

but personallly i feel hitting 24.8 - 24.9 already a nice rate .

[robinllp]

Very very rare u can see 24.8 above honestly.

[bensomchai]

Very very rare u can see 24.8 above honestly.

That was verygood rate. I was in Bangkok last week and was B24.62

Cheers.

[meesua]

Very very rare u can see 24.8 above honestly.

I agree. Very difficult to get this rate. :D

[chezeburger]

I highly doubt it will hit 25.

Went to a few MC during this period. Many claim no stock. While the MC I changed with ran out of bahts after me.

The demand is high and 24.7 is a rate I deemed to be the best bet.

[yinyang]

Guys, think it's good as it gets for now. See latest net capital inflows to Thailand (demand affecting THB).

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-02-07/baht-gains-after-global-funds-boost-thai-stock-bond-holdings.html

But then, I can be wrong tomorrow hehehe

Assuming,

1) You bought a decent 1 rai land, in decent location and in a province
2) You built a decent brick house with car porch and garden
3) You bought decent furniture

The above will cost you at about 3-5 mil THB.


Questions,

1) You changed SGD to THB, how you transferred the money over to Thailand??
2) You know land cannot be owed by foreigner? In this case, the land and house and everything belongs to your so called tirak or wife?
3) What will happen when you and tirak or wife break up one fine day? 3-5 mil gone? :eek:

Only get one small one without furniture at 2.5 mil THB.

Questions,

I remittance to her account.

2) You know land cannot be owed by foreigner? In this case, the land and house and everything belongs to your so called tirak or wife? Yes, the house is under her name.

3) What will happen when you and tirak or wife break up one fine day? 3-5 mil gone? :eek:
If that really happen, then I will accept it. Nobody to blame but myself.:(
See my reply in RED.

Appreciate your concern. I like the way u craft your questions. :D

[hosayboh]

She owns the land but i think you can own the house and lease the land for a max of 3*30 years, so i think if anything happens.....well, they'll have to wait till next generation to pick the durian......:p

[naemlo]

I remittance to her account.

How u remit THB from SG to Thailand??? :confused: I am curious about this.

BTW I admire you for transferring thousands n thousands of dollars to another ger's account. :D Either u r brave or trust her a lot. :D

Guess you still dun get it or are prepare to throw the money into the drain.

Read this statement from a lawyer in Thailand,

"Even a well-constructed land lease and a separate option agreement to extend the lease between the landowner and the lessee cannot guarantee the timely renewal of the lease. A landowner may refuse to sign any registration for the lease extension beyond the 30-year expiration. Although the lessee can sue the landowner for breach of contract, the legal process entailed may be costly and time-consuming. "

After 30 yrs, if no agreement has reached, the owner of the house will have to demolish the house or give the house to the owner of the land. This is like throwing away mil of THB for 30 yrs of staying. Or in between 30 yrs, he and wife break up. He can't sell the house. He either stay in the house for 30 yrs or leave it vacant till 30 yrs as he can't sell the house as no one will want to buy the house without land. For both cases the owner of the land benefit from them.

But if the land belongs to the house owner then at least, he can sell away the house and land anytime and take the money back to SG to buy coffin. :D

Not unimaginable, guess condo is the way to go....but the pricing sucks....
But actually, i think you might still be able to setup an offshore co to buy and own the land + house. Get a lawyer to setup some thai names on the board of directors w/o any voting rights, blah blah blah......heard this is done for foreign inventments into real expensive houses in Thailand.

But actually, i think you might still be able to setup an offshore co to buy and own the land + house. Get a lawyer to setup some thai names on the board of directors w/o any voting rights, blah blah blah......heard this is done for foreign inventments into real expensive houses in Thailand.

Hey I think condo still the way to go cause as a foreigner we can put it under our name. But of course it a bit more expensive but we got the piece of mind cause under our name. But buying a condo require us to pay cash in full and compare to sing prices, it still a lot cheaper and they have good quality from ap and Sansiri builder.

Depending on the condo unit u got, leasehold or freehold. If freehold u own a % of the land and thus u can vote.

Aiyoh, mai ani, I want to build a 8 mil baht house for my gig in Chiang Mai, 1 15 mil baht house in Khao Yai for my weekend golfing and 1 20mil baht house for my home stay in BKK. So I need to know what is the best way to transfer money out of Singapore to Thailand. :rolleyes:

Either you are building a big cannon or you are prata man.

Since years ago you been talking about exchange rates and you exchanged your SGD to THB in various locations, so from other locations, the THB you exchanged how you pass to BKK forex??

Anyway, continue with your nonsense, don't bother me. If I want to continue on, definitely will break your big cannon.... You know nothing about property and yet willing to invest more than SGD100k cash in it? :D

My cannon is bigger, I am going to invest about SGD1.8 mil. :D

Today rates is bad, less than 24. I exchanged SGD 10k, lost a lot. :(

[Terryraven]

My two cents worth - I visit BKK quite often, I generally find that changing money there is much better than in SG. In fact, even the changers at Suvarnabhumi airport can equal or better Arcade. Some more you have to pay for expensive parking just to visit Arcade.

There is a money changer at Chit Lom BTS station too, just after the fare gates in the direction towards Holiday Inn (concourse above street level). Gives rates that are about 1% better than the airport. Convenient if you are enroute to Zen mall.

Money changers at Swampy better than Arcade? Come on bro thats pushing the envelope. All banks in Swampy has the shittest rates! PERIOD! HANDS DOWN! Arcade. Golden Mile and that Ah Neh under the escalator at Peoples Park can beat all the fricking banking cartel at Swampy one had tied behind their backs ANYTIME!

BTW that SUPER RICH at Chidlom MRT doesn't have the best rates in Bangkok. Maybe a few days in a month but u cannot say they r the best... I've posted this many months ago... their neighbor 90% of the time triumphs them... :cool: PS... u also taking commission from the banks at Swampy ah? พี่ซูเปอร์สุดยอดครับ:rolleyes:

[Terryraven]

Like i said, just my 2 cts worth. i go to BKK about once every mth. when i first started this last year, i always changed at the arcade first then ended up finding out rates at "swampy" were same or better. The Chidlom rates are definitely always better than "swampy".

Its not just THB. I've been let down by arcade for IDR, CNY, PHP etc in their respective countries.

To be fair, the difference is not big. unless you are changing lots of 'ks. Drive down to arcade + erp + parking will probably wipe out any savings assuming Arcade is better.

Anyway, thanks for the info. It's simple. Next week when I stop by Swampy, I will check the rates against Arcade anyway - if it's worse off, then I learn something and thank you very much. If it's better, it's something for you to think about.

[yinyang]

Bang on (for my money). Terryraven, beg to differ on your asserting Bkk's rates better than Sg, especially Swampy.

It's a given that sanambins (airports) are worse places to change your dosh, in most destinations. Also, rule of thumb is marginally better rates from open, financial centre like SG (but Pesos defy this logic, reverse in exciting Philippines). Got to do with money market conditions.

All said, unless you got family fortune to change ..diff (for odd short trip, kopi money) may not be worthwhile. Of course, you can bet on horse by season parking your thb in local thai banks (if you got dough to spare).

Never quite sure of SuperRich, big notes or ..isn't this big opportunity
loss?:confused: Few timeS I spied SR stalls in BTS stations or mall, rates are just as bad as rest leh.

(IMO, you seem to let go in LOS thread today. That time of month, huh?:o

[Terryraven]

Yeah time of the month coming up. Actually time last month and time this month only 2 weeks apart this time. So not always 28 days apart like the other "time". :D

Agreed that most airports are pretty bad, I find that the TH, PH and VN airports are ok though. As in when you go to the city you may find better rates but you won't feel you've been completely shafted. Changi is really bad though. but it's good for me. because when i do travel claims, i have to produce a changer receipt for expenses in foreign currencies. so......:D

that's why i always change $50 at changi haha.

anyway another destination i go to quite often is bali to chill. on the streets every 3rd shop is a changer and every other is a "changer" if you know what i mean. if you go to the "changer" you get to watch a game of shuffle-your-notes and god knows what you will get back.

nowadays i avoid those with counters that look like car-jockey ones. i go in, ask for big notes (IDR100k is only $14 anyway) only so its easier to count.

[naemlo]

I always say this, it is not worth the effort and time to only change a few hundreds dollars.

[1stdesire]

I always say this, it is not worth the effort and time to only change a few hundreds dollars.

I agree with naemlo. It should be "by the way" type. I stop changing Thai baht at BKK International Airport, rate very low. :mad::mad:

I will always call Golden Miles BKK Forex for the exchange rate before I go down. But if I dont going to remittance, I will go to the Indian stall between Grassland and 5 star travel agencies, he gave Best rate at GM.

Today BKK Forex @ 24.18, means the indian money changer u can get at least 24.30

Enjoy weekends! :cool:

[BlueDragon193]

Today rate @ Ratchada & Siam Exchange - 24.40 bahts

[magician69]

I always feel changing currency inside the country I'm visiting always gives the best rate..

Cause the "supply" is there while our stronger currency is a demand?

[Terryraven]

Interesting point. Do you also notice that in many places elsewhere in South East Asia, at a money changer, that they will generally give you more for your SGD then the BND (Brunei $)?

We know that the SGD and BND are legally interchangeable 1:1 in the two countries, yet if you go to say MBK in BKK, I've seen the changers offer say 24.xx for SGD and yet 23.xx for BND. They also offer less for the MYR.

Proud to be Singaporean :D

[indianmagicoil]

Its not just THB. I've been let down by arcade for IDR, CNY, PHP etc in their respective countries.
A group of friends changed at Arcade 24.75 3 weeks ago. Bangkok Super Rich was 24.72 and Swampy cartel was 23.87 - all on the same day.

My own Rule of Thumb - go change your money at where their nationals working in Sillypore would normally change. So... THB = Golden Mile, IDR = City Plaza, CNY = People's Park, PHP = Lucky Plaza? Changed at all before except for PHP.

BIG TIP of THE DAY:
Are you using an smart phone? Now you can download an app that lets u know whats the daily rate for THB... go search "Super Rich Money Exchange"... use that to compare rates across the board. IMHO Super Rich rates are one of the best in Bangkok.

Depends on what you really mean by 'local' banks -Sg banks? Fair, right comparison is MC (money changers) here, then reverse holds true as this thread had consistently shown. Simple reason is local Sg banks do not bank too much on 'over the counter' currency exchange (handling, not big bucks) unlike trading or remittances (where the money is). Of course, there is the presence of forex kiosks in Changi (with rip off rates:p). Bkk's different with plenty bank MC presence all over town, due to big tourist market

Just on sun, GM was doing 24.30+

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. :D

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.
