[pulpfiction1]

hi everybody. I'm new here and hoping someone can help. Do any of the currency exchange places in Bangkok change €500 notes? specifically the 'Best Exchange' place in Pratuman. Any info really appreciated .thanks

Can't answer for Best Exchange, but I have never had a problem in Super Rich.

I've seen Bars changing them... personally I wouldn't but I don't think you'll have to much problem.

Maybe you should change them into smaller notes, but then you;d have to declare excess baggage of course :-)

Where's Super Rich? I've only been to Super Poor before. The advantage i think is in comparison that in the SP you get what you have. You don't get what you think you want in the SR.

It's already too late if you ask a question like this. If you really know the problem you should know how to ask the question more correctly.

Good luck.

Super Rich is pretty good a few locations around town and they show on their site the 500 note.

Remember there are 2 companies with the same name called Super Rich, although one is actually superrich1965 or something like that. I use the colours to distinguish the difference between them, I usually get better deals at the Green one opposite Central World in the little soi there.

That's all interesting. Nobody outside banks will touch them in Spain, mainly because they haven't seen originals before :-)

Yeah, I have heard this too, thats why I was unsure about the situation in Bkk. Anyway, so it appears that most places in Bkk have no issue taking the 500 Euro note? Well that's my question answered so..thanks to everyone that contributed constructively

yep, but this doesn't seem to stop exchange places in Bangkok accepting/exchanging the note. All good so.

the 1000 swiss franc note is worth more and nobody cares about it

in switzerland you can buy a coffee with it and amazingly THE SHOP WILL ALWAYS HAVE CHANGE !

banning large notes just because some criminals might launder them is a stupid idea that

punishes everybody who has EARNED the right to own such notes for his convenience
