Ancient Thai Coins

Featured Replies

I have an old Thai coin, which looks more like a paperweight, that I want to sell.

Does anyone know where I can sell it?

I think it's about 240 years old. There used to be one, years ago, fairly near the Oriental - is it still there?

Ta Chang boat pier and the road that leads out to Sanam Luang. They have it all on the sidewalks and shops.

Almost forgot. In addition to Bangkok's big weekend market, there are other retail locales with less savory reputations. The Nakhon Kasem market in Chinatown is still referred to colloquially as the "Thieves' Market" due to its beginnings as a massive outlet for fencing stolen goods. Now you're just as likely to find piles of odious crap like busted calculators or shredded tires, but there are also vendors who specialize in "pre-aged" antiques (i.e. "antiques") and other fine imitation work. And the Thieves' Market runs every day, though it does get busier on weekends.

Upcountry I have seen old coins being traded in the shops that deal in Buddha amulets.

They are very costly to buy but when you sell you will be lucky to get two baht.

Went to River City and found out it's from Sukothai period(I think that's 700 years ago) but not worth as much as I thought - maybe 5,000 baht. Think I'll keep it.

If it is nice stick it in a holder of some sort and display it, a lot of people think they are good luck.
