Thai Baht to GBP, best bank?

We want to change Thai baht back into sterling what's the best bank to do this with.
The reason I ask this is in Prasat Surin province there's only three banks just thinking if there's one in particular that's better it might be worth my wife waiting till she gets to Bangkok any thoughts please.

Re: Setting a property sales price

Agents over here are desperate to get properties to market. I could walk into town and get any of the eleven agents to market my property for 1% theirs a massive shortage of property on the market here in the UK.
