Where to exchange us 100's

[thaitot]

Today we visited my wife's home near Chachongsao we flew in with us currency. I did this some time back with no issues.

Yesterday we went to the bank of Ayutthaya  krungsri and I tried to deposit them with no luck I am probably in an area that does not see much us currency

so they were scared to deposit them. Today we are going to the old city of Ayutthaya  can anyone suggest or know of any currency exchange offices in that area

I have a backup plan with atm from us but now I am carrying cash that I would like to deposit to my account. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thank you for the suggestion, is this different than a standard Krungsri bank because that did not work. I am assuming as you labeled it a currency exchange it is different Thanks

Also it depends on if the Bills are the "old" ones .....Nobody will take them!

It appears to be a normal KTB branch but some branches of banks do offer currency exchange while others do not so if reported to be currency exchange it should offer.  Expect TOT office could advise.

Cashing 100 dollar bills and depositing them are two very different things. To open a dollar account you first have to find a branch that has this type of account. Usually you need 1,000 dollars as a minimum opening amount. But to cash them most banks will but the rate is not that hot. Super Rich has many offices throughout Thailand offering the best rates. There is on in Future Park Prathum Thani on your way back to BKK from Ayuthaya.

I'm not sure where you got this information, but the address doesn't match any of the Ayutthaya outlets on the Krung Thai Bank website, and I certainly haven't seen anything on that street that relates to KTB.

 

The main branch of KTB in Ayutthaya is on Naresuan Road, on the opposite side of the road from the Ayothaya Hotel and a bit further west.

 

Incidentally, there's a lot of confusion between Krung Sri and Krung Thai in this topic.

Actually as I posted there is a KTB bank branch at the location specified and it is clearly visible on Google Maps street view this year.  It appears to be a small branch with ATM in front.

Do you have a before and after pic of the bills? How different are they? I have 500 usd but no idea if they are new or old.

Google says bottom right.

Apologies.  It's the government hospital branch.  You're quite right.

If you don't know the difference you probably have the old 100 dollar bills ......good luck cashing them!

 

These are the New ones!

had them for 6 months....hopefully they are the new variety. They accept them in Myanmar and they are very, very fussy to the point of being painful.

Might have been fussy because they are the old ones!

Possibly, but they can be fussy over their own Kyat too!  Get change from one shop might not accepted in another!

 

Take an iron to Burma and press your US dollars...the slightest crease,nick or blemish.....no want.

Hello,

 

If not found yet you can try Ayuttaya Park (big commercial center on highway 1). Banks there are also opened on Sundays.

Ok Thanks for the posts as a follow up we ended up at big C Ayuttaya, Krung Thai Bank, no issues and very quick. I made sure we had crisp new one hundred dollar bills as I anticipated the old ones would not work and this was a Saturday .

Ok next question one final exchange needed in Chiang Mai  my walled was not large enough to hold a 3 to 1 size ratio expansion and I would like to shop the highest rate. i may post this in the Chiang Mai forem  Thanks again to all.
