so is it worth changing £ to $ then changing into baht ?
I'm confused

No dude.

The GBP to USD is as shit as the GBP to THB.

Multiple exchanges is rarely a good thing, not in the short term.

Bloody Hell Gaz's prediction is as half baked as all those high paid economic forecasters that occupy the corner offices in George and Pitt streets (Donny I'm actually in your fair city tonight at the Mecure at Central Station and can actually see some of those offices, can't make out the crystal balls from this distance though)
This week I've heard one forecaster say the AUD could go as low as USD 0.40 and somewhere else I read that we will be back at USD 0.80 soon :evil: J.M Keynes, the father of modern economics once said "Astrology was invented to make economic forecasting look respectable"
To be honest I couldn't give a shit that my upcoming trip to Thailand will cost more. My problem is I buy about USD 200,000 per month of product and sell same in AUD....to use a technical term, I'm fooked right now

If you buy products for 200,000 USD and sell them for the same in AUD (200,000) I can understand you are fooooked
