blackcab Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Transfer to NOK here. You will get a much better rate plus you can hand carry unlimited foreign currency out of Thailand. Cash over USD15,000 (or equivalent) must be declared on the way out, which is a simple and straightforward process. Have a read of this: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveK Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I recommend Vasu exchange close to Nana BTS - great rates and excellent service. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackcab Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Don't forget to declare in your home country if that is required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkksiam Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 "There are limits to the amount of currency you can carry into or out of Norway. This is currently set at 25,000 Norwegian Krone (about £2,500). If you bring any more than this into the country, you must declare it to Customs on arrival.

WildBillHiccup Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hi MelvinMelvin ... Thanks for posting your question. As I am researching a 'Plan B' many of the answers given to you from kind TV members will help me decide on which way to go about things should I decide to leave. Here is an open question to the forum. If you planned on leaving Thailand for the UK with THB 800,000 (or its equivalent in $US) would you (a) hand carry the 800,000 in Thai Baht or (b) hand carry the 800,000 in $US ... (after changing it from Baht into Dollars?) My reasoning is that the Thai authorities may prefer to keep their own currency in Thailand ... or wouldn't it matter? Ultimately everything will be changed into GBP sterling and I am thinking that each money changing transaction will reduce the end net worth. How right\wrong am I? Thank you in advance for all who respond to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer90210 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Sorry if it has already been asked but to clear any doubt, will the chap at the counter of the exchange office/bank in Thailand, accept a large amount of Bhat and change it in foreign currency ?
