Cambodia currency exchange?

[B0nkers]

Just got back from a few weeks in Cambodia and brought my excess Cambodian money with me to Thailand, thinking I could exchange it. Went to the one of those yellow exchange booths and was told they don't accept it. Anyone know where I can?

You have to fly back to Cambodia. Its worthless outside the country.

Now you own it.I've been over there several times over the years and the last thing one does is change ALL local currency to usd for example. A couple months ago they even ahad a bonafide currency exchange in the waiting area upstairs at PP airport.

Same rule applies for the Laos (kip) script. I jokingly asked for 1 kilo once at a money changer. 10k in Thai baht would fill an overnight bag.

Only by finding someone heading that way who might buy it at a good price. (Or a Khmer girl/guy working here, many do at restaurants.)

Toilet paper doesn't qualify as classified documents.

Except for other travelers, no bank/exchange will buy Cambodian currency. AFAIK.

About 450K. I got scammed exchanging Thai baht to USD with a tuk tuk driver when I arrived. Fake USD. Good times.

Want to buy my $450K? I'm in Pattaya till end of month.
