jackoholly Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Hi guys This is probably a weird one but I'm finding myself bringing pocketfuls of Thai Baht coins home with me everyday. They're going into a pot but that's filled up pretty fast. Does anyone know a place I can get these exchanged for it's wonderful paper kind? Don't particularly want to go into a bank and embarrass myself. Thanks a lot Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackoholly Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 I mean I'd like to get rid of them all in one go as opposed to buying my weeks grocery shopping in 1฿ coins. Is that what you mean?

jackoholly Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 The pennies do indeed add up. I mean back in the UK the banks would provide you with bags detailing the number of each denomination of coin allowed in a single bag. Do the banks do the same here? The orphanage does seem like a pretty cool idea though. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanBBK Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 All our coins going into piggy banks for the kids. Last time we went to the bank, we got like 6 k that went into the kids savings. Unfortunately Banks don't like that sort of coin deposit. I think we got charged 5% for troubling them....

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand In Austria you walk in with a big bag of coins they put it in the machine and you walk out of the bank 5 min later. In Thailand they had us to count them, and make rolls of 10 each to accept it once. I think a other bank just took the bag and counted them.
