How to change old 50 pound to baht in thailand

[playboy]

Hi, any one know where I can change old paper 50 pounds to baht or dollar or into new 50 pounds note in Bangkok?  Since the end of this month they will convert to new 50 pounds.  Thank you.

unlikely i'd say. the best option is keep it and pay it into your uk bank account when you return, or get a mate to do it for you.

Go to a money exchanger....  If they accept it......  

 

If it's too late already and the money exchange will not accept it you have to wait until you are in the UK where a bank will accept it.

You're probably just too late, Superrich stopped taking them only last week.  Back to Blighty methinks.

If you have any paper £20 or £50 notes, we encourage you to use them or deposit them with your bank or Post Office before 30 September 2022.

As paper notes are returned to the Bank of England, they are being replaced with the new polymer £20 notes featuring JMW Turner, and polymer £50 notes featuring Alan Turing.

After 30 September, only our polymer notes will have legal tender status.

 

What to do with paper notes after 30 September

Once the 30 September 2022 deadline has passed, you will no longer be able to use Bank of England paper notes in shops or use them to pay businesses.

After this date, many UK banks will accept withdrawn notes as deposits from customers. Some Post Offices may also accept withdrawn notes as a deposit into any bank account you can access with them.

The Bank of England will always exchange any withdrawn notes, including paper notes we have withdrawn in the past.

 

I'm heading to America tomorrow. I'll give you $5 apiece for them but you'll need to bring them to BKK today.

Any notes have to be in perfect condition. Even in England people are weary of £50 pound notes. When I was a cashier my boss went ape<deleted> if I accepted a £50 note

Post it back to UK as a gift before they are taken out of circulation????

That is what my mate did as he had no friends returning to UK.

I'm in Patts, I'll also give you $5 each for those worthless notes.

Go to the money exchange and see if they will take it but don’t delay do it today . I was lucky I had a friend returning to the U.K. who kindly deposited it into his bank and then transferred it into my U.K. bank.

Sad that there are always Trolls on a serious thread.

I actually had quite a few of them. I sent them back with a friend.

I took mine to a currency exchange kiosk in Pattaya, there are plenty of them about and changed them into bhats, be quick time is running out.

Thanks to everyone. I just missed the boat re SuperRich so posted them to a relative in the UK. Assuming they arrive she will deposit them in her bank and transfer the funds to me.
