The oz dollar has surged today to allmost 0.70 to the USD still down 30% of it's high of 0.98 in July and is above 24thb my prediction and will quote myself when the times comes that the dollar will be close to 26thb in 2 months, a forecast of 4% per month as predicted.

DS I think you look in wrong column again....Todays rates are Bht /A$

Bangkok Bank as at 9.55 a.m. 23.45

Siam Commercial Bank as at 11.44 a.m. 23.49125

Also the US$ has eased slightly against the bht so that does'nt help us....Cheers Donnykey

Just curious DC why the 20 bht extra...Cheers Donnykey

[Rossco]

If you use an ATM of another bank (not the one you bank with) or an ATM of a branch of your bank, outside your Bank's town (Pattaya), the bank charges 20 Baht admin fee.

As Rossco stated. The ATM also states the fact on screen too.

The other additionals are compliments of my UK bank :|

All miniscule amounts when taking the change in exchange rates into consideration :?
