Leaving With Cash - Limit?

[timmys]

Hi,

Does anyone know how much cash you can carry out of Bangkok on your way back to UK? Bhat that is?

Thanks

Out of Bangkok... 10 billion.

Into your country...

For the US and Canada the limit before a duty to declare it is $10,000.

I imagine the UK has a similar value.

I believe that the UK-limit was recently reset to 10,000 Euros, or the equivalent, in cash. Interesting that the limit is in Euros - not Sterling !

The UK limit was £10,000 but Europe was definately 10,000 euros.

Maximum 50,000 baht, but why do it since you will lose big on th exchange rate?

In Thai Baht: 50,000

But you can buy Euro's, Sterling, US$ whatever, then the limit is if I recall correctly 20,000 US$ or equivalent.

This was not so long ago (few months) raised from 10,000 US$.

Definitely bringing in, however not 100% sure about getting it out.

It does, unless you have special permission from somebody or other (cant remember who)

As someone said, why take out Baht, you will get a c*** rate in the UK to change to Sterling.

But, is there some limit to the amount of baht you can change into Sterling at Banks in Thailand? E.g. if I walk into a bank with 200,000 baht and want to change to Sterling, will they do it?

Anyone tried?

Go to a money-changer, not a bank. No limits.
