Baht to Dollars

I am finally making money in Bangkok (i.e., I have finally lowered my expenses enough so that I am able to save money on my paycheck). So the money started to accumulate in my bank account here and I thought I'd transfer it to my account in America.

I did... and I am not sure exactly where all of the money went. Transferring money to another currency is a slippery transaction. The bank here took their 400 baht commision. My US bank took their $10 commission. Someone (not sure who) took the commission from charging me a high exchange rate.

All in all, from withdrawal to final deposit it looks like my exchange rate was 41.95 baht/dollar. Not terribly good, but at least the dollar is low these days. Otherwise it would have been worse.
