Mightycabage Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I have about 2000 baht worth of foreign currencies left over from a long trip I did several years ago. I am wondering if it is common for most money exchangers to change these currencies. I have: Croatian Kuna Egyptian Pound Turkish Lira Hong Kong Dollars Any advice on where I would be able to exchange these currencies for baht? Thanks.

tingtong Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 HK dollars not a problem, all bank/exchanger will change to baht. the rest i dont think most exchanger will touch this part of the world, or for very high commission. (even in Italy, they wanted 15% commission on Turkish lira, for example). certainly, if you have coins, changing those better forget outright.

I wasn't worried about the HK dollars. Mainly the others. I do have a bunch of coins as well but I know that those won't be taken anywhere. I think I'll just take all the bills with me and see what I can do. Luckily about half of it is HK dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asanee Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 HK$ any bank. For the others: IF they will take it- its the private moneychangers, like Super Rich/Vasu. Do not expect great rates as for trade-able valuta even with them. Also probably a minimum value even for notes. I doubt most about EGP-who ever would want to go there now?

davejones Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) For the future, convert all left over money when you leave. Much easier. Edited August 29, 2013 by davejones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will up to the money changer to take them off him or not. They might even take them for the fun of having un exchange currencies. So he has to plead. Ko jai mai khap?
