Hi all ,Is there anywhere in Bangkok to change the old paper £ into Baht  ? Nit accepting them at my local money exchange .????

Golds shops usually are a good place to change foreign currency----most times they pay higher then a lot of exchange places.

Time as run out I think on them, only place I know is,  after banks in UK stopped changing them, that they had to be sent to BoE in London.

Only Bank of England or one of their regional branches in the UK I am afraid. I have several old £50 notes that the  currency exchanges here refused to take. New £50's out now. I will probably have to do the same on my return to the UK.

 

The only other option might be to post them to someone you trust in the UK and see if they can pay them into an auto deposit machine into their bank account.

Not yet, September 2022.  Until then can be used as normal.

The old £20 and £50 notes are still legal tender in the UK until the 30th of September 2022.

Bank of England notes are always valid however after September you must pay into a bank in England with which you hold a bank account or take to the Bank of England who will change a reasonable quantity otherwise you will have to justify how they came into your posseion. It is up to banks in Thailand to decide whether or not they are willing to exchange them same as any other currency

Yep I've got 300 quid found from my deceased Aunt's stuff but I can't change them.Maybe if I took them to the Bof E. but that's it.My bank in OZ can't do anything.

 

Try SuperRich or Vasu, worth a shot, looking at them now (10/9 10pm) SuperRich rate = 45.10 for notes 5-20,  Vasu = 45.00

i've always been able to pay expired notes into my uk account, no problems. i've often taken thai friend's old notes back home to exchange.

still legal tender in the UK. maybe try to 'sell' them to someone (from the UK) who is due to return home soon... if you can find someone that is...
