Hi guys

English £50 notes are going out of circulation here in the UK in September, do they still accept them at exchanges in Thailand? I'm travelling next month .

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
Users in the discussion confirm that UK £50 notes can still be accepted at currency exchanges in Thailand until the new notes are fully in circulation. However, some places may prefer the new plastic notes and the exchange rate may vary for old notes. It's advised to ensure the notes are in good condition to avoid rejection.

I exchanged two 50 pound notes about 15 minutes ago in Patong with no issue.

Don't know for UK but Netherlands is 20 years for using them as usual. After that you can change them in "the Dutch bank" (government institute) eternal.

It was same with 500 euro note, they go out of circulation meaning they don't produce anymore but they are still legal tendor and accepted worldwide

Some places want the new plastic ones, I got slightly less of an exchange rate for the old ones a couple of weeks ago!
