Yes, change money in Thailand, buy any foreign currency in Australia and you'll lose out.
With the Libs back in, their mining mates love a weak dollar so get used to it.

At Sydney international just being curious I inquired what they were giving for the Philippine peso, 25 to 1 aussie dollar, in Manila it was 36 to 1.
They should all be wearing masks, or have the Ned Kelly outfit on.

Was just a bit surprised how much it had changed since last year... We will mostly withdraw cash as needed

That's the current mantra. 10 peso per dollar though, that's certainly getting your g...dough. Cheers bear

I saw a rate for the Philippine peso/Thai baht exchange in Don Maung many years ago that was almost ridiculous, apparently the Thais did not want it either.

Yes tasjo it is certainly down but all the above advice good as never seen equal let alone better in Australia. Masks not needed for these legal crooks. I didn't compare banks yesterday which I usually do but got 20.80 for cash. last week 21.21. Gone down every week for ages and no one knows when it will bottom. Next time we get US$1.10 I will change my fortune. Should have last time but thought it may continue up and the old story. It had peaked and all of a sudden gone.

Indonesia doesnt seem so hard hit, its at 9800, its always hovered around 10,000 from memory. Thailands brutal onsidering the 220 baht withdrawl fee every atm withdrawl. Indias down from 51 to 48, not too bad, but the malay ringit keeps going from bad to worse was 3.33 last year, now 2,89. Where can we live well in this climate, all i can think of is argentina, there peso has taking its hardest hit ever, was 10 5 years ago, 20 a year ago reached 33 a month ago and back down to 29 at the moment.We could live like kings over there. any other currencies that fair well against the aussie dollar you know of?.

dave3478As Banjo and nomadic can attest it has been worse. Swings and roundabouts. One of the things that we overseas folk that live or visit ASEAN countries are going to have to put up with for a while is increased investment into those countries. Hopefully Australian 'dingbat' politicians and bureaucrats will wake up in time.

Even if goes down to 10 baht I think I am better here. OK 10 not so sure but lowest I have seen is 17 and I'll take that before a footpath in oz anytime.

One of my still good friends in Oz is from Argentina 50 years ago. He once told me his friends car was stolen. Found it in the police station car park.

Get an ING everyday bank account and withdraw from anytime in the world for free, They reimburse the ATM fee instantly to your account and the rate is pretty much identical to what's shown on XE.
