Will Thai banks accept my coins for cash exchange?
Ok, so as its says "and more" in the name of the group here's one that never been asked I'm sure 😁 i have 4,113.75฿ in coins which I have collected over a year, in the UK I would take it to a coinstar machine at my local supermarket it would take 10% for cashing it up. Now I'm pretty sure they don't have these in Thailand so my question is do you think the bank will take them? 🤔 😀 Now don't come at me guys just thought it would break up the monotony of visa questions 👍😁🤣
Answer summary
The inquiry revolves around if banks in Thailand will accept a large amount of coins (4,113.75฿) for exchange to cash. Responses indicate that banks generally do accept coins but may require them to be bagged in amounts of 100 baht. Additionally, many 7-Elevens and local shops are also willing to accept small denominations of coins.

I take then to a local vendor.. I let them count it and give me the cash. I drop it off and the next day or two they give me the money. I imagine they take some? I think they're happy to have the coins

They do have the machines here in Thailand. Well they do im Bangkok for example theres 1 just by asok bts about 10 feet from super rich if you walk away from terminal 21.

If you would tip once in a while, you wouldn’t have any coins!!
Gary ********
OPStan Szymanski another faceless keyboard warrior who the fuck are you to assume that i don't tip? You don't know me from Adam you moron. This money was saved up over a year from what was left in my pocket at the end of the day mostly from 7-11 / supermarket shopping. If I go to a restaurant I will tip. I would also like to point out i don't live in a tourist area so keep your assumptions to you fucking self!!!

Gary Cooper nothing wrong with that at all. A gift is a great idea.
I just keep a bowl in my place any coins and give them as a donation to the local workers every time it gets to a decent amount. They’re always so grateful.
I think buying her a gift is a lovely idea.

I give mine away, but also use them in the water machine. I am hoping a supermarket might install a change machine. In the uk around 10% goes to charity. And you get paper cash. The supermarket then has the change they need in the machine. So it’s a win win win for everyone.
Guido ****
I need them for the washing machine.
Kevin ******
I am not sure where you are in Thailand but there are machines that take these coins and charge 10%. You can have the money applied to a number of cards- a Rabbit card, for example. You will often see these machines in busier BTS stations In Bangkok. Otherwise, there are many great suggestions posted here.

My 8-year-old daughter collected coins for 2 years. She had almost 3,000 baht. She counted them carefully and put them in plastic bags. I took her to our bank, Krueng Thai, to deposit into her account (joint acct with me) and the wretched toad behind the counter said he'd have to put them into the coin counter to verify. Ok, no problem. He then deducted 10% of her total for that 20 second fleece. Absolutely disgraceful. We no longer bank there.

I went to the bank and exchanged the coin. Need to do it in the early morning. Just say "laek rian" (แลกเหรียญ). They will count in front of you. But you should have the bank account at the place you exchanged. I got 2000 baht that time
Otherwise, for me, it will be
10 baht - washing machine
1 baht - water filling machine
2 baht - very tricky, go around shop
5 baht - I often bring this to a small shop, they love these coins

Go to a very fancy restaurant, order 1 steak, pay.
- seriously though, the mom and pop shop might actually be happy to take it from you but they will count it 3 times over. or just start using coins for < 100 thb transactions and it will all be gone in no time.

Firstly, when you were in the UK you wasted money paying 10% to have them "cashed up"!
You should have just taken them in batches to a supermarket and fed them in the supermarket self service check outs.
In Thailand you just put some in your pocket when you go out and use in 7-11 etc.

All the scrutiny coming from guys who obviously have a lot less money and spend their coins in markets and shops while you don’t need to. You’d expect better from a visa group, not a monger group.

Thomas Carlozzi I usually tape up a stack of coins and spend them taped up. For instance, ten THB10 coins taped up (THB100), or twenty THB5 coins taped up (THB100), or ten THB1 coins taped up. When I spend them like that, taped up, the staff at

just accept them. They don't break the stack to check the amount. I've also seen people given change presented the same way, stacks of coins taped up. Taping them up makes it easy for the staff & they take it on trust, as do customers who are given their change that way.

This is a job for... the local market! They love when I give change and swap for big baht notes.

In our country, they sell change ! So you could start a business.. I believe it was like you get 10 egp for every 1000 egp you provide in change

Not sure throwing images of the king on the floor would be a great idea here to be honest.
John **********
Steven Lofthouse I don't see why not. I regularly see Thais throwing coins in a very similar fashion to a Scottish scramble, although more at funerals than weddings and the coins are wrapped in small paper squares. The kids have great fun trying to grab as much as they can.

Michael Hubble do you walk about with your eyes closed?
Monk Ordination Procession (Buat Nark): Before a man enters the monkhood, he parades to the temple. During this procession, the Nark (novice) or their family throws coins (often wrapped in colored paper) to the crowd. This symbolizes the renunciation of material wealth and worldly possessions.

Michael Hubble bank notes and envelopes are different. That's usually a donation to help cover costs. I regularly see the ladies in my village with a big bag of 1 baht coins wrapping them up in these little squares of paper, they usually end up with a basket full which gets taken to whatever event and handfuls are thrown around for the kids to scramble for

And the stalls in the local market can use all the coins. Either you go and have a local go and the merchant will be more than happy to be paid in coins. Many customers use 100 baht bills and the merchants need the coins for change.
Gerald ********
Peter Noyes I hate it if i go and buy something with a big note, i gave her 1000 for a 200b buy sorry can't change so i had to scan.

This is how I use coins, BTS for sure. I also hold some for motorbike taxi stands since the rides are almost always 20-30 baht down the sois. Also use them for song tews.
