Caution: ATM exch rates really sucks (outside the bank charge/commission)

Cheers

brudder..i think what i posted is suppose to be the basic guidelines from banks..
think bit less favorable when u do exchange in LOS..coz in the middle of the TT, there's bound to be ppl trying to earn something from it...
but think only slight fluctuations unless u change quite a lot(millions)...

P.S i always prefer and encourage brudders to do TT or exchange from agency or even from black market(at yr own risk)...better rates!

Thailand Forecasts 5 Pct. Economic Growth

© 2006 The Associated Press

Thailand's economy is expected to grow at least 5 percent in 2006 after expanding about 4.7 percent last year, the prime minister said Wednesday.

"I am confident that GDP growth for 2006 will be 5 percent in the worst case scenario," Thaksin Shinawatra told businessmen during a briefing on the economic outlook.

Thaksin said the government's will focus this year on economic reforms in all areas, including agricultural, education, technology, energy and financial services to increase the country's efficiency and competitiveness.

The government will also begin moving ahead with a planned 1.8 trillion baht (US$45 billion, euro37 billion) mega infrastructure project that will give a much-needed boost to the country's development, he said.

Thaksin said GDP growth for 2005 was expected to be around 4.7 percent after a difficult year that included a downturn in tourism from the tsunami, bird flu and rising oil prices.

"Even though we had many negative factors last year, our economy is still strong," Thaksin said.

The National Economic and Social Development Board will announce the fourth quarter GDP and the total growth for 2005 in March.

Thaksin also said that the Thai baht was expected to strengthen this year, but it will be in line with a broad dollar weakness and was expected to move in the same direction as other Asian currencies. The dollar was recently trading at 39.855 baht.
