Would somebody pls advise, are Thai baht easy to change in India, and if so how unfavourable are the exchange rates, or does it make more sense to convert into $ and £?

Also, from another thread, is it better to book a hotel before arrival with a prayer, or play it by ear from Calcutta airport?

Hi,
The latest currecy exchange rates are
1000 indian rupees=827 thai bahts.
Other Imers will hopefully aid you with your other questions.

Thanks. Can you pls also tell me if there is any difficulty in changing Thai baht, or if it is readily accepted at any bank/bureau?

Just seems odd having converted £ to baht, to then them into £ or $ in order to swap them for rupees.

Batistuta: Thanks for the Thai baht exchange rate, which seems about par with $/baht.

Would somebody pls let me know in a bt of a hurry 'cos it's wheels up on Monday, if the Thai baht is a readily accepted currency, or subject to a runaround.

Many thanks
