cm das Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 My nephew collects coins and I thought I might get him and old Thai coin. I've been to the Treasury Hall and their coin museum but they only have commerorative coins for sale there, nothing older. I'm not looking for anything super rare or antique, just a small piece with some history. Any ideas for where to look in Chiang Mai? Thanks.

Suradit69 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 EBAY have some sellers who advertise old thai coins and notes for sale. And if you pick out sellers located in Thailand you can usually arrange to pay in baht and shipping charge is negligible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
