TLDR : Answer Summary
A user reported that Kasikorn Bank refused to accept the new King Charles £50 notes, while accepting the older notes featuring the Queen. The conversation included comments on Thailand's strict currency acceptance policies and concerns about counterfeit notes. Other users shared their experiences with currency exchange in Thailand, noting issues with Scottish notes and mentioning better rates offered by alternative exchange services.
My Thai wife just sold land we owned in Kanjanaburi. The local government office made her produce copies of her grandparents’ death certificates. They died before we bought the land and names were never involved in the transaction, ever. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, surprises me (or upsets me) with this country anymore.

Never mind Thailand..they don’t take them in Wetherspoons in the UK either! Too many counterfeit!

Large quantities of counterfeit notes are usually the reason why they won't accept certain note types.

I think the Thais still haven't solved the riddle that evolved when her majesty passed away

You can use the Scottish notes but will probably get a lower exchange rate as usual
my mate found it impossible to exchange Scottish pounds in January and that was Bangkok.

I'm back home in Scotland there is a real problem with counterfeit notes with king Charles head on them just now I was told by checkout operator might be the reason?
Try to explain him why Thailand is way better than any other 'First world country'. I don't think he will understand. Oh well not everyone is smart enough to get it
