Converting From Bahts

Featured Replies

I did post a rather lenghty message yesterday, can't find it today, so I'll try again.

I am wondering if in Phuket it is possible to convert bahts to dollars or to buy traveller's cheques in American (or pound sterling, etc) values.

I ask this because I have been working in central Thailand at a public school (legally, with a work permit) and I have quite a number of bahts built up.

My concern is this, if I had to leave the country quickly, I might be in a jam. I have heard that you can only transport 10000 bahts out of the country in hard currency. If I had to leave with bahts, are they easily converted in other countries.

I have some foreign exchange certificates which will allow some conversion with ease. I have, as well, stamped pay receipts from the school where I work. Will this allow me to convert to dollars or buy traveller's cheques?

Does anyone know or can advise me/

I would prefer to do this in Krabi or Phuket if possible.

Sure would appreciate any advice.

What I know and what I used to do was converting Baht to € or US $ at the International Airport in any Bank Exchange.

It wasn't big sum but few hundred at the time. With all receipts I don't think you will have any problem.
