I am wanting to buy a small amount of Thai cash. I am after about 5,000 - 10,000 baht (up to about $500, rate $1 - 20 baht). Banks either don't have or are charging a ridiculous price / fee.

Rainfall was again well below average and it was sunnier than usual. We again escaped the severe weather events of some regions, and local warnings again failed to eventuate, although there were a couple of scary wind storms.
The average daily maximum temperature was 17.1 degrees, only three points below average, largely due to an increase in temperatures towards the end of the month. However, eastern areas of central New Zealand were a degree or more warmer due to the same nor-westerlies raising their temperatures. Blenheim had 11 days over 20 degrees, we had one, that on the last day of the month.
Rainfall of around 70 mm was deficient by about 25 percent; not a good sign for summer.
The lack of sunshine early in the month saw an increase later, with the equivalent of 18 sunny days being above average.
With the wind decreasing and increasing sunshine, November could be a summer month (based on a 20 degree temperature average) as it often is, but with an average of 19.3 degrees over the last decade it cannot be guaranteed.

We decided on a hybrid because of the advantages offered by electric vehicles coupled with the extended range of a petrol motor. It has been a gem of a car - until last weekend when it refused to start. No warning. No alarm. NOTHING. It just would not start. By absolute chance the local AA rep was across the road on a separate call-out. He was extremely efficient, explained the problem, and was able to start our car so we could get home. He then came to our home and fitted a new battery. It transpires that while the car is in the electric mode, the auxiliary battery is unable to be charged. As in conventional cars there is an alternator connected to the petrol motor, but not in electric. So, just a heads-up for hybrid owners: Be aware - save money, petrol and the planet by going electric, and be prepared for a great deal of inconvenience and annoyance and to pay out between $250 and $600 for a replacement auxiliary battery which could (and did) fail with no warning after about 35000 kilometers. Or just use the petrol mode. Maybe I'll just go and buy a horse.
