Guitar God Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 The airport currency exchange kiosks at BKK weren't interested in buying Czech Crowns. Does anyone know of place in Ubon I can exchange them? Or is anyone on their way to Prague? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyjustice Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Have you tried any banks? Like Bangkok Bank? They have all rates listed. Sorry I have only changed US$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaibah Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Have you tried any banks? Like Bangkok Bank? They have all rates listed. Sorry I have only changed US$. Bangkok bank does not take CZK. http://www.bangkokbank.com/BangkokBank/WebServices/Rates/Pages/FX_Rates.aspx and none of these do either. http://bankexchangerates.daytodaydata.net/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Just because they are not listed on the website does not mean they will not do the exchange. They only list the most common currencies, You need to go to one of the main offices of a bank to get them exchanged. It may take a while because they will have to contact Bangkok to get the rate. It appears the rate is about CZK 1.00 = 1.41 Soruce: https://currency-converter.net/?gclid=CjwKEAiA7MWyBRDpi5TFqqmm6hMSJAD6GLeAWpHpJt0fPO7JOcwlz9SMhfpZd71-rEtkSgV2DByD0xoCB3Tw_wcB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Neither Superrich nor Vasu (two of THE main currency exchanges in Bangkok) do list it. You will have a hard time and if any bank changes the rate will be terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 From 2011: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/505305-exchange-czech-crowns-in-bangkok/ No luck in Bangkok and Chiang Mai walking from place to place. In Ubon? Forget it. Perhaps things have changed since 2007. "I arrived in Bangkok in 2007 from Prague with a large sum of Czech koruna" From the only post that mentioned Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

NiwPix Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Krungthai Bank opened up a foreign exchange center / bank on Chayangkul Road about 3 months ago. I haven't been inside there, but I think it would be worth a try. This is from their flyer: - Foreign bank notes buying and selling - International money transfer - foreign drafts selling - foreign clean bills purchased - foreign clean bills for collection - foreign currency deposits #045-313-304 They are located diagonally across Long Beach Massage.

Guitar God Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 I thought I'd tried the main branch of BKK bank when I was trying to get rid of some Vietnamese Dong and they didn't do dong, maybe Czech crown is different.If not I'll try the Krungthai Bank bank. It sounds like they only take laundered money though since they seem so obsessed about the cleanliness of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
