Kringle Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Know someone with about 20k in money from Peru but can't find anywhere that will exchange. Does anyone know where you can get this exchanged. Spoke to the people at the Peruvian embassy and the closest they said would be US or some country in South America. Does anyone else have an easier way?

chownah Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 (edited) In Bangkok, in Pratunam area, on RajaPahrop street (its a big street, the one the buses go along to go to the world trade center), across from the Intra Hotel there is a money changing business that is not at all obvious from the sidewalk so look carefully or ask someone. There is a sign there in English that says Timmy, or Temmy, or something like that. You step down to go into the lobby where you wait until they unlock the steel door in the back where you go in to exchange the money. They give good rates (at least to Thai people) and they exchange just about any currency you would have. Let me know if this works out for you if you have time.

Kringle Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 This is the current exchange rate of Peru sol to US dollar: Currency Converter Results Wednesday, July 20, 2005 20000 Peruvian Nuevo Sol(s) = 6150.06 American Dollar(s) 1 USD = 3.252 PEN 1 PEN = 0.307503 USD Being that this would be $6150.06 in US dollars, I would like to find a place that will exchange it for me. Johnnyk, it might be a joke to you but not to me. Britmaverick, are you talking about an American Express office here in Bangkok? Thanks for any help.

Never been in- just drive past it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
