Exchange money before/after?

[pimping]

Currently got a strange question. I am transferring a small sum from UK to Thailand as I have transferred money to many countries before. But this time they asked me whether I want the money sending in Thai baht already or UK sterling which will get converted the other end in my Thai bank account.
I asked them on the phone which would work out better and said they couldn't answer as the exchange guys aren't in till Monday and they haven't got any figures.
Anybody done this before and know which is the cheapest way to do it? Have First Direct exchange the sum into Thai baht or just send it as sterling to be exchanged at my Thai bank account?

Cheapest way is to use a forex specialist who will do it for you.

If you haven't already transferred it, how much is it, and PM me some more details. We can help you.
