jackoholly Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi all Does anyone know of a coin depository machine in Bangkok? I have thousands of small coins that I would love to change for something more 'useable'. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isanbirder Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Package them up in bags of B.100 (maybe B20 for the satangs) and offload them at Makro bit by bit. I don't know of anyone who will take them unsorted (banks charge a percentage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evadgib Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Big C customer desk accept ours annually, after wife counts & bags the coins in bank bags. They check the amount while we shop & hand her the notes when we leave. This service is free of charge.

Marcel1 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 For me personally the markets are the perfect place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackoholly Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 They are one and two baht coins. I would feel a little shy using 1 baht coins to pay for anything over 10 baht. Maybe it's just me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it.. other people are also shy (or lazy) so if things are say 16 b they have to find the change for a 20 note.. sometimes your actually doing them a favor!
