TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, most Euro banknotes are accepted for exchange, with the 50 Euro and 100 Euro notes being the most common. Larger denominations, such as the 200 Euro and 500 Euro notes, can also be exchanged, but they may face more scrutiny and need to be in excellent condition. While Euro notes in good condition are preferred, it's noted that 500 Euro notes are no longer officially issued, and 200 Euro notes may be less commonly accepted but generally can be exchanged if they are clean and unmarked.

Make sure whatever you bring is brand new, doesn’t have any marks, tears, or writing on it.

Big bills get better rates, but all must be clean and unblemished. They are fussy

€500 notes are accepted without any problem in exchange shops anywhere in Thailand, and of course €200 and €100 too.

Get a Revolut card or a wise card, easy to sign up to and you dont need to carry or exchange anh money anywhere in the world - and they give you the normal rate of the day.... only need a bit if cange for the baht taxis and thats it......
I have it, but Thailand uses a lot of cash. Card payments are not widely accepted, and you also get ATM fees and revolute fees over 10k baht per month withdrawall
Yeah but when you put the baht fees and revolut/wise fees for withdrawalls over 10k baht per month, is almost the same. I have Thai bank account, so no problem to put them in after conversion.
I never had trouble exchanging 200.- and 100.- Euro bills. You get 0.05 Baht more than for 50, 20 and 10 Euro bills. . . . . most important is . . . . . the bills should ne unspoiled and unmarked
I asked for 500 in my bank in Ireland but they said Not Available any more because too easy for money laundering. Most exchange booths on the street here do not show a rate for 100 Euro bills so not sure. I bring 50's.
Are you sure, from my research i understood that higher the denomination, worse rate and not all places are willing to accept it. I am talking about 200 and 500 eventually, since will be easiest to carry on with me.
No, banks give worse rates than super rich and some other exchangers. Can check the rates on their websites.

Nick MuayPlam I beg to differ. Only super rich is sometimes better. Banks are always better than booths, booths are less rate and take more commission.
