Not precise, but the rates usually hang around 250 kip to the baht, 12,000 to the GBP and 8,500 to USD, like I said, not precise, but close enough

Take baht with you - you will get a better rate at the money exchangers.

Have a look at 2 or 3 to get an idea of what they are offering.

The best I found was in Rue Chanthakhoumane which is the street leading away from the Danish Bakehouse (walking away from the river) in the big square with the inoperative fountain, almost to Rue Phai Nam (on the left hand side)

I should have also mentioned that many of the shops/restaurants/hotel etc will accept payment in baht (or US$), and give you realistic exchange rates.
