Does anyone know if you get a better rate by transferring money into a bank in Thailand from the UK or better to bring pounds over? I'm thinking of coming over with just a few pounds then set up a bank account and get my bank to transfer more money over. Is this a good plan?

can anyone recommend accommodation?

I'm coming to Hua Hin December 15th for 2 months. Usually I stay in a hotel or resort in Phuket but heard a lot about Hua Hin so will give it a try. Is it better to rent a condo? Would I get a better deal for 30,000 baht a month in a condo for 2 months rent. Any help would be appreciated.
