This afternoon we received an email saying that the "currency exchange guy" had arrived to our office. After some moment, I took the lift to upstair and get my
"Ringgit Malaysia" (RM) currency prepared as it is my first time to exchange it for
"Thai Baht" (฿) currency. Previously I had the experience in exchange RM for
Euro (€) currency and
British pound sterling (£) currency back in 2013. Well, I didn't really all of the RM that I withdraw few day ago as I just prepared RM800 to change for bring to Bangkok trip.
Upon arrived to the room, I saw a lot of money on the table and it is really kinda "tempting" in someway. Anyways, the currency exchange guy told me that it is better to top up extra RM17 out of the RM800 to change for ฿7,000 Thai Baht. Hence, I just paid him RM817 to exchange without having any receipt.
After exchanging and I went back to my place at office, I just checked back the XE currency exchange website and it shows that RM817 can change for ฿7,199.57 as I felt that I might overpaid RM22.65 when exchange to the Thai currency.
Anyways, my online friend shared that it is correct because the retail needs to make money for the exchange. I suddenly felt that whoever do money changer service here sure happy because earn a lot after conversion. Hence, this is why some people claim that playing those FOREX thingy online can earn a lot money in term on US Dollar currency.
However, they don't know actually there are people who doing money laundering using this kind of exchange system to "wash" their money. Anyways, I just told myself to enjoy my trip at Bangkok since it is my first time. Frankly speaking, I do have some feelings about Bangkok especially when listening to this
Thai's Hormones song.
Be happy!
