Hey all, I have some change leftover from traveling through the Philippines before I came to Thailand, and I'm wondering if there's a bank somewhere on Phuket that will exchange my coins for THB. I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 USD worth of Philippine Pesos. Currently I'm in Kamala Beach, but I can catch the bus if there's a place nearby that will do it.

Thanks in advance for any help!

330 Baht . Give it to a WAT.

go out tonight where some Philipinos are playing music.

Then ask them to play your favourite songs for your lady, and pay with your coins.

Your lady will "loob yuu mak mak"

Living in high price Phuket and wanting to change approx 10 USD in P.I. coins...Maybe time to move to a much lower cost area. Donate the coins to a Filipino working in the town so these coins eventually get back to the P.I. for good use.

See http://coord.info/GC20KEV for the place to drop that stuff

How does one recognize a Filipino in Phuket? Are there certain places/jobs they are likely to be at?

Banks and money changers will exchange bank notes or travelers cheques only its the same anywhere i have traveled.

Gosh, you could do so much with that.

Thanks all, I figured as much, but it was worth asking.
