This is alarming to know...
Well, Just to give u a bit of myself, I am living in Thailand for almost 4 years now, and I have witnessed how the exchange ridicule on the table, if you know what i mean, for a couple of years GBP versus THB (Thailand Baht) is like a pound is to 67 THB... Imagine, since the financial crisis hits the floor, it went down to an alarming 47.58 THB for a pound... So, if you got a thousand pound, automatically it would give you 47,000 THB and extra, whereas last year or a couple of years ago, it was like 67,000 THB, so it is clear that we're losing 20,000 THB.... what a waste???
