Changed some Stirling Pounds into Thai Bahts today at the Post Office.Exchange rate 43.6504.Have I been robbed.

Strictly speaking, no you haven't been robbed: you EXCHANGED one amount of currency for another.

However, the rate you received might not be the best available, but may also take commission into aco. (I don't know if the UK P.O is "commission free", but even if they are, it's considered in the rate you get)

The BBC's quoting £1 buys THB48.0385, but rarely would find a Bureau de Change facility to give such a rate to a member of public. That's how they make their money.

Enjoy the ladyboys (or, if you prefer, men with tits).

Travelex would have bagged you 44.92/£, so you were not robbed, just didn't get the best deal.
