TLDR : Answer Summary
The acceptance of Norwegian Krone (NOK) at exchange shops in Thailand is limited and generally not recommended. While some exchange shops may accept NOK, the conversion rates are often unfavorable due to its status as a less commonly traded currency. Users suggest that it's better to bring Euros or withdraw from ATMs, as these methods typically yield better exchange rates.

Det samme gælder for danske, svenske kroner.

Så her lidt gode råd til at komme udenom problemet.

Hav så mange kort som muligt med, hvilken type har mindre at sige, så er man mindre sårbar hvis der sker noget med et kort.

Inden afrejse tjek den daglige og månedlige hævegrænse hos kortudstederen og få den evt. øget inden afrejse.

Hvilke hævegrænser andre har er urelevant fordi det kun gælder for dem, da det er afhængigt af kortudsteder, korttype, kundestatus og evt. forhandling.

Tjek også om kortene er låst med geografisk lås, som for nogle kort let kan åbnes og lukkes i netbank, jeg låser altid mine kort mellem hævninger, så har kortene ingen værdi for andre.

Har et kort med lavt maksimum, som bruges til daglige betalinger, alle steder det er muligt: butikker, restauranter, barer, udflugter osv.

Da disse transaktioner ikke påvirker hævegrænserne.

Betal også de store udgifter som f.eks hotel med kort, da det koster hver gang der hæves kontanter.

Når der hæves så hæv altid så tæt som muligt på hævegrænsen ( for danske kort er 2000 kr. det mest almindelige ), det giver omkring lige nu omkring 9500 Baht, når der er fratrukket det Thailandske gebyr på 220 baht.

Vælg “other amount” for at kunne indtaste ønsket beløb der er højere end de foreslåede beløb, der vil også stå hvilket beløb, der maksimalt kan hæves i den ATM.

Hvis ATM’en ikke tillader beløb i nærheden af hævegrænsen, så afbryd og find en anden ATM, så udgifterne per hævning holdes nede.

Hvis udbetaling nægtes,så sæt det ønskede beløb ned, med 100 baht af gangen til udbetaling opnås.

Vær opmærksom på at der kan være forskel på kurserne i de forskellige bankers ATM.

Altid vælg “ no conversion “ .

Hæv ikke på meget offentlige steder som f.eks f.eks. soi Bangla, giver ofte både dårligere kurs og dårligere sikkerhed, så hæv diskrette steder.

Hav en plan B, hvis der sker noget med kortene.

Hvis der medtages kontanter, så er der mindst omkostninger ved at tage baht med, da det er dem, der er gangbare i Thailand.

Thailandske Baht kan forudbestilles i egen bank.

Hvis kontanter mistes / stjæles er de helt væk, mens et mistet kort kan spærres og og evt. misbrug stoppes.

HUSK DANSKE KONTANTER KAN I THAILAND KUN VEKSLES TIL LATTERLIG LAVE KURSER, HVIS DER OVERHOVEDET KAN FINDES ET STED DER VIL VEKSLE.

Bring Euros, better rate and less hurdle

of course it's gonna be harder to change NOK than it would be to change € , or $ , or £ , or ¥ !! . even if you pretend to believe that everybody out of Norway is supposed to know what is a NOK !
Christopher ******
Is Nok your girlfriend or wife? I suppose depending if she was pretty or not would depend if they would exchange her or not & of course what you’d want to exchange her for?

Just recently even SUPERRICH stopped showing NOK, SEK & DKK on their website . Before they did but at very bad rates of 10% or more discount , now as I say they don’t show them at all
T ****************
Oh look.... here comes the Norwegian Kroner Airlines... 😀
Bart **************
Even the Superrich main branch doesn't give you a good rate for those. Norway is an expensive country so I think exchanging NOK to EUR or USD at your departure would also not be cheap? Then just don't bring cash, get it from ATMs. If you can get EUR or USD at a favorable rate somehow, do that. Do not come here with NOK.
Bart **************
And by "favorable" I mean losing just about 1% value. I actually don't think that's possible in a rich country so I think the ATMs approach may come out on top.
Jo **********
I doubt they would accept an airline

Funny.... Nok in Thai means bird 🐦
David ********
NOK
Ric ****
Yes the Norwegian Kroner is accepted at Superrich Thailand for the best rates. Check their websites. I believe "Nok" also means bird and is a common female name in Thailand. Also, if you repeat it twice.... people might replay with..." Who's there?"...
Bart **************
@Ric ***
best rates in Thailand (maybe the only in Thailand), but not good enough to justify taking NOK. ATMs will outperform the rate.

@Duncanc *********
first, what's funny? Second, why the ridiculous question? You think there's something wrong with the advice? If that's what you think, why don't you check first, before making such bold statements?
Duncanc **********
@Bart *************
ATM withdrawals vary by bank - but without exception represent the most expensive ways to exchange money.

Your previous idea of exchanging NOK to USD/EUR, and then again to THB, was equally expensive.

That you so confidently give such bad suggestions is impressively funny. 🥰🙏

Have you tried crypto trading?
Bart **************
@Duncanc *********
lol, you are just SO wrong. Exchange NOK at Superrich, you lose 18.25%. Yes my friend, exchanging via USD or EUR is beating that, by a factor 10. Using the ATM also beats it.

I would love to exchange all my money with you one day 😊. You'll feel rich, but actually be broke.

And why am I confident about what I'm saying? That's because I check my facts and know what I talked about. It's your confidence that is misplaced.
Duncanc **********
@Bart *************
Definitely an NPC 🥰😻❤️😇💪

Surely you can change NOK yo Baht in your home country rather than change it to Euro and then to Baht..... By the way, I cant believe so many people didn't know what NOK was 🤔
Bart **************
@Andy *******
that is the worst advice ever. Exchanging to baht in Norway, if at all possible, is gonna cost him a fortune. If he would do any exchange at his departure, it should be to EUR or USD.
Duncanc **********
@Bart *************
exchanging currency twice is officially the worst advice anyone can give … ever
Andy ********
@Duncanc *********
You can't tell this clown anything he is s genius and knows everything.....then his alarm clock goes off and he has to work on his YouTube "best advice ever" channel..... he really is insecure
Bart **************
@Andy *******
I don't have figures for Norway but as a substitute I've looked at getting Thai baht in The Netherlands and compared with getting USD there and exchanging those a second time to THB at Superrich.

EUR -> THB directly: you lose 16%

EUr -> USD -> THB: you lose 1.6%

Looks like my 20 vs 2 scenario isn't looking so unrealistic now right? 😉

FYI I'm not asking you or the other clown to understand any of this, the two of you have proven yourself so far below the required level of competence by now. I'm nevertheless talking to you to inform interested readers.
Andy ********
@Bart *************
You really are insecure aren't you 🤦‍♂️
Duncanc **********
@Andy *******
don’t hurt his feelings - he’s a sensitive guy.
Bart **************
@Duncanc *********
so by your logic, if your nephew would ask if Ireland and Iceland combined are larger than America, you would argue that Ireland and Iceland are two landmasses and therefore must be larger than America which is only one.

Why do the two of you embarrass yourselves so much. Worst of it all is that you tell other people, and who have given proper advice, that they are wrong. You and the other supposedly smart guy should both refrain from giving anyone any advice about anything because you're not competent enough for it. You don't understand that for exactly that reason, but please, take the advice regardless.
Andy ********
@Bart *************
So it's better he changes twice apys commission twice....... oh and of course Thai Baht is available in Norway.... they have electricity there too
Bart **************
@Andy *******
are you really doubling down on the worst advice ever? 😅

So yes, it's better to pay €1 twice than €20 once. Lots cheaper, actually. If you think otherwise, I want to exchange all my money with you. I'll swap mine twice to you so you earn twice, you revert to me only once. I'll set the rates ;)

Thai baht may be available in Norway but thinking it's as evident as electricity is pretty ridiculous. Thai baht is not a very common currency. Exchangers in neighboring countries will have it, but in Norway it is not straightforward. And for the same reason it's expensive.
Andy ********
@Bart *************
You have totally invented those figures to try and look clever but failed miserably 🤦‍♂️
Bart **************
@Andy *******
yes I have made them up, to keep it simple for you. But if you think the figures favor your case, why don't you share them?
Andy ********
@Bart *************
Like you I don't have any figures and also I didn't give "the worst advice ever" as I never gave any advice I only asked asked a question. Your reply was flawed as you gave 2 different prices for doing 1 exchange in Norway. Please stop digging yourself a hole you are making yourself look more silly 😉
Bart **************
@Andy *******
dude, there's nothing wrong about the advice I gave. Exchanging NOK to THB in Norway, if at all possible, is gonna be super expensive. Exchanging via USD or EUR is going to be LOTS cheaper.

Look, maybe you are not capable to understand maths, rates, economics, you name it. But then just refrain from giving advice to people and leave that to those who are. And particularly, don't argue against people who actually help. Your advice could cost people money.
Andy ********
@Bart *************
What an arrogant prick you are.....luckily you are an expert and a legend in your own mind. And again I never gave advice so learn to read properly
Bart **************
@Andy *******
if you speak of reading properly, maybe read the original post. He asked if it was possible to exchange NOK to THB in Thailand. He figured by himself that doing it in Norway would not come out favorably.
Andy ********
@Bart *************
Of course it's possible to change Nok to Thai Baht in Norway don't be an asshole all your life have a day off

playing smart using a word : NOK , That nobody knows . why not name it directly?
Ivan ******

@Giorgio *****
I was not playing smart, I am smart. I wrote NOK instead of Norwegian crowns begause because I wanted to speak directly to people who know. That be the people who have done it before and have knowledge of that particular currency. If I knew people would get so butthirt for me beeing a "fancy pants" using "special" words I might have used other words. Or not, its quite amusing to watch people loose their sh*t for so little 😆😆😆

playing smart? Not at all. Nobody knows? Because you don't doesn't mean nobody knows. Millions of people know
Giorgio ******
@Kim ********
sure every body from Norway knows .
Kim *********
@Giorgio *****
every trader trading forex know - every banker know - everyone studied economics maybe know many Scandinavians know and so on
Giorgio ******
@Kim ********
sorry this is not a forum for traders .

I also know hundreds of typical words or acronyms from my own job that you would for sure ignore .that would not make you an ignorant . And anyway I would not use those words without an explanation . If I ask questions on this kind of forum I make myself clear .

was it so difficult to ask

" is it easy to change Norwegian crowns ....." instead of playing smart saying NOK" . I myself could use hundreds of acronyms that you the so smart banker/forex/ trader ( whatever). would not understand .
Kim *********
@Giorgio *****
again nothing to do with being smart. If you are used to using an expression you just use it without thinking (sometimes) that maybe not everyone understand it. And not knowing a special acronym has nothing to do with being ignorant - we totally agree on that. Different jobs have different job specific expressions that most people are not familiar with - don't understand. Computer experts - lawyers - carpenters - plummers whatever - when they talk to each other about something job specific people won't understand. But yeah he should have said Norwegian kroner. Have a nice day 👍
Bart **************
@Giorgio *****
if you don't know something, it doesn't mean that nobody else does.
Giorgio ******
@Bart *************
like if everybody here is from Norway
Bart **************
@Giorgio *****
maybe not but many still know NOK. You don't, which is fine, I won't call you stupid for it. But it'll call you that for thinking that everyone else is like you and that only Norwegians know the abbreviation of their currency.

How old are you?
Giorgio ******
@Sue *********
been traveling all over the planet for 60 years . traveled across the planet before " lonely planet " didn't need .. rarely saw travelers traveling with NOK

and wandering at the last minute if they can change them for any kind of local currency .

instead of asking just try .
Kim *********
@Giorgio *****
just try instead asking? A little late to try when he has arrived don't you think??​ The purpose of the groups is to ask about what matters to you
Giorgio ******
oh yesh of course . I could use hundreds of acronims that you don't know either . so in the doubt I smartly use the full name

Yes, they accept it

@Thaimer *****
but not at a good rate.
Lorna ********
I use my Norwegian debit card to withdraw local currency. ATM's in Thailand have a fee but you can take your card and passport into some banks and withdraw for free (usually a minimum amount)
Marius ********
NO. Sek, nok, dkk is not accepted.
Bart **************
@Marius *******
Superrich main branch does, but it is still not a good idea to bring them. The rate's not good.
Jacques *****
Speak in words we understand. What is nok. Wow
Bart **************
@Jacques ****
here's an idea: how about either you Google the thing you don't know, or you leave the question to those of us who do?

@Jacques ****
Nok is a bird

maybe Nok is a bird but NOK is the Norwegian currency. JPY is the Japanese etc etc

@Kim ********
ok I did not know that thx

NOK is the currency abbreviation for Norwegian Krone. He used it correctly in all caps, just like someone using THB for Thai baht or CAD for Canadian dollars.

I don't imagine Thailand taking something like that

I think get it changed to Euros before travelling might be better.

Wouldn’t recommend. You may find some shops accept it, but rate will be bad as its a tiny currency. Just bring EUR
