How to use it

อัตราàt-dtraa is a rate: the exchange rate is อัตราแลกเปลี่ยนàt-dtraa lâek-bplìan, the interest rate อัตราดอกเบี้ยàt-dtraa dàwk-bîa, and the price list of a service อัตราค่าบริการàt-dtraa kâa baw-rí-gaan. It's the word of banks, notices and the news.

At an exchange booth people just say เรทrêet, from English: เรทดีrêet dii is a good rate, and it's worth comparing a few booths before you change money.
