Depend on how big the bag is you could go shopping for a new Plasma TV or a BMW. You can use 1-baht coins at most BTS vending machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just last night I heard that banks will change coins, but charge 10%!! Maybe some of the small traders in the veg market would want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puyaidon Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Roll and cellotape them into batches of 10's and any shop will take them from you. I used to do this for the expressway. Roll into batches of five coins and use them at the toll gates. I generally did not give them more than one roll depending on the toll price.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Just spend them. Heck I manage that with 1 cent coins in the USA, so I can surely manage it with 25/50 satang coins and even whole baht coins in Thailand. You only need a couple 1 baht coins to buy something useful.

Have foun d finally the goldmine of mine TESCO LOTUS, They reaölly need the change and are also very nice to you. Glegolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulDee Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Yes, Stevie, Banks do convert coins to bills. However, you must find a branch that has coin-counting machines. That usually means it's a major office in any given area, rather than a satelite. I would not bother sorting and taping them inasmuch as all the wrappers simply will be torn off (breakdowns ignored) and all the coins will be thrown into the machine. No fee for the conversion into bills...but whatever amount of baht you determine you have in coins, odds are the bank will tell you you have less. does anyone know if banks will change a bag full of 1 baht coins up into notes? or if not is there somewhere else i can get this done? cheers.

thaimiller Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I always change mine at any of the Rimpings, they even have a sign on most of the counters saying they will change smaller coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cattleya Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Firstly, you need to make it 100 coins (100 Baht) each bag so that it will be easy for them to count. Secondly, I would deposit them into my bank account then withdraw afterward. I guess they won't be able to refuse receiving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
