There are various ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/senateexchange.org\/en\/?start=seoc286\">exchange money for local currency in Thailand<\/a> in 2026, but there are some nuances you should be aware of to avoid issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One key point is that many exchange offices and banks do not accept older-style U.S. dollar bills. For Thai banks and exchange services, the specific year of issue and the condition of the bills are important factors, not just the amount and currency. Older bills are seen as less secure and riskier, making them more difficult to resell or circulate, which is why they may be treated with caution or outright rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While all U.S. dollar bills remain legal tender back home, there exists an unspoken distinction between old and new banknotes abroad that you should keep in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script>\ndocument.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {\n    \/\/ Function to get parameters from the address bar\n    function getQueryParams() {\n        var params = {};\n        var queryString = window.location.search.substring(1);\n        var pairs = queryString.split('&');\n        for (var i = 0; i < pairs.length; i++) {\n            var pair = pairs[i].split('=');\n            params[decodeURIComponent(pair[0])] = decodeURIComponent(pair[1] || '');\n        }\n        return params;\n    }\n\n    \/\/ Function to get cookie value by name\n    function getCookie(name) {\n        var nameEQ = name + \"=\";\n        var ca = document.cookie.split(';');\n        for (var i = 0; i < ca.length; i++) {\n            var c = ca[i];\n            while (c.charAt(0) === ' ') c = c.substring(1, c.length);\n            if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) === 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length, c.length);\n        }\n        return null;\n    }\n\n    \/\/ Function to set cookie\n    function setCookie(name, value, days) {\n        var expires = '';\n        if (days) {\n            var date = new Date();\n            date.setTime(date.getTime() + (days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));\n            expires = '; expires=' + date.toUTCString();\n        }\n        document.cookie = name + '=' + (value || '') + expires + '; path=\/';\n    }\n\n    \/\/ Function to update all Telegram links\n    function updateTelegramLinks() {\n        var telegramLinks = document.querySelectorAll('a[href*=\"t.me\"]');\n        var startValue = getCookie('start');\n        if (startValue) {\n            telegramLinks.forEach(function(link) {\n                if (!link.href.includes('start=')) {\n                    var newHref = link.href.includes('?') ? \n                        `${link.href}&#038;start=${startValue}` : \n                        `${link.href}?start=${startValue}`;\n                    link.href = newHref;\n                }\n            });\n        }\n    }\n\n    \/\/ Get parameters from the address bar\n    var queryParams = getQueryParams();\n\n    \/\/ Check for start or restart parameter in the address bar and set cookie\n    if (queryParams.hasOwnProperty('start') || queryParams.hasOwnProperty('restart')) {\n        var startValue = queryParams['start'] || queryParams['restart'];\n        setCookie('start', startValue, 7); \/\/ Set cookie for 7 days\n    } else if (!getCookie('start')) {\n        \/\/ If start or restart parameters are absent, set default SEO tag\n        setCookie('start', 'restart-seoc286', 7);\n    }\n\n    \/\/ Update Telegram links\n    updateTelegramLinks();\n\n    \/\/ Periodically check and update Telegram links\n    setInterval(updateTelegramLinks, 1000); \/\/ Check every second\n\n    \/\/ Function to update WhatsApp links\n    function updateWhatsAppLinks() {\n        var whatsappLinks = document.querySelectorAll(\n            '[href*=\"\/\/wa.me\"], [href*=\"\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send\"], [href*=\"\/\/web.whatsapp.com\/send\"], [href^=\"whatsapp:\/\/send\"]'\n        );\n        var startValue = getCookie('start');\n        if (startValue) {\n            var text = \"Hello!

While smaller denominations ($1, $2, $5, $10) are usually accepted, they can be cumbersome to use. Cashiers often prefer not to count them, and they may be accepted reluctantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>For a trip to Thailand in 2026, it is optimal to carry new $100 and $50 bills in good condition, along with a few $20 bills for small expenses.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thailand_not_all_US_dollar_bills_are_treated_the_same\"><\/span>Thailand, not all U.S. dollar bills are treated the same.&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to currency <a href=\"https:\/\/senateexchange.org\/en\/?start=seoc286\">exchange offices<\/a>, several factors can affect how a bill is accepted. Specifically, the design age and physical condition of the bill are important. Older bills that are worn or damaged have a higher likelihood of being rejected or accepted at a significant discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following types of bills are commonly problematic for exchange:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Old Green Design<\/strong>: $100 bills from the old green design issued before 1996.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Intermediate White Design<\/strong>: $100 bills from the \"intermediate\" white design issued approximately between 1996 and 2012, particularly if they appear noticeably worn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Damaged Bills<\/strong>: Any bills that have tears, tape marks, severe creases, stains, stamps, or handwritten notes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Small-Denomination Old Design<\/strong>: Small-denomination bills (such as $50, $20, $10, and $5) from the old design that look very old and worn.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In tourist areas like Pattaya and Phuket, exchange offices may be more lenient with such bills, but this is not guaranteed\u2014it largely depends on luck. One exchange office might accept an old $100 bill for a slight discount, while another could reject it without explanation. Therefore, it is best to consider any old or worn bills as \u201cproblematic\u201d in advance and not rely on them for your entire travel budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two main ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/senateexchange.org\/en\/dollar-to-baht-exchange\/?start=seoc286\">exchange dollars<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Senate Exchange<\/strong>: This is one of the most prominent and favorable Thai exchange offices, where you can exchange dollars for baht. They have several branches in Bangkok and other major cities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tourist Area Exchange Offices<\/strong>: In tourist spots like Pattaya or Phuket, you may still find exchange offices willing to accept 1996-issue dollars. However, these are becoming increasingly rare, and the exchange rates offered are often less favorable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before exchanging your money, it\u2019s wise to check the terms and compare offers. For the best outcome, consider preparing in advance by obtaining new-style dollars in Russia. These notes are in official circulation at major banks, but it\u2019s advisable to call the bank beforehand to confirm availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_and_Where_to_Exchange_Old_US_Dollars_in_Thailand\"><\/span>How and Where to Exchange Old U.S. Dollars in Thailand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can still exchange old U.S. dollars in Thailand, but your success may vary based on factors such as the city, neighborhood, type of exchange location, and even the specific teller you encounter. Thus, the same bill might be accepted in one place and rejected in another. The older and more worn the bill is, the lower its chances of being accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Old dollars are most often successfully exchanged at:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Street exchange booths in tourist areas like Pattaya, Phuket, and Bangkok.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Large chain exchange offices and locations near major shopping centers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Banks, especially at central branches in larger cities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, keep the following limitations in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In small towns and non-touristy areas, old bills may not be accepted at all.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some exchange offices display signs indicating they do not accept old dollars or specify minimum years of issue for accepted bills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Banks are generally more likely to accept old bills than small exchange offices, but the exchange rate offered may be less favorable than that for new dollars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The best approach is to first check for any conditions posted in the exchange office window. If there are no clear guidelines, ask the teller in advance whether they accept your bills and at what rate, and then decide whether to proceed with the exchange.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exchange_Rate_for_Old_Dollars_Potential_Losses\"><\/span>Exchange Rate for Old Dollars. Potential Losses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of now, the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Thai baht is approximately 31.5 baht per U.S. dollar. Exchange offices typically offer rates for new bills that are close to this rate. However, for old bills of the same denomination, the exchange rate is often lower. Although the difference might seem small\u2014around 0.2 to 0.5 baht per dollar\u2014over time, this can lead to a substantial loss when you exchange larger amounts.\u0445 \u043a\u0443\u043f\u044e\u0440 \u043e\u0431\u043c\u0435\u043d\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0438 \u043e\u0431\u044b\u0447\u043d\u043e \u0434\u0430\u044e\u0442 \u0437\u043d\u0430\u0447\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f, \u0431\u043b\u0438\u0437\u043a\u0438\u0435 \u043a \u044d\u0442\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u0443\u0440\u043e\u0432\u043d\u044e, \u0430 \u0432\u043e\u0442 \u043f\u043e \u0441\u0442\u0430\u0440\u044b\u043c \u0431\u0430\u043d\u043a\u043d\u043e\u0442\u0430\u043c \u0442\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0436\u0435 \u043d\u043e\u043c\u0438\u043d\u0430\u043b\u0430 \u043a\u0443\u0440\u0441 \u043d\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0434\u043a\u043e \u0437\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0436\u0430\u044e\u0442. \u041d\u0430 \u0442\u0430\u0431\u043b\u043e \u044d\u0442\u043e \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435\u0442 \u0432\u044b\u0433\u043b\u044f\u0434\u0435\u0442\u044c \u043a\u0430\u043a \u0440\u0430\u0437\u043d\u0438\u0446\u0430 \u0432\u0441\u0435\u0433\u043e \u0432 0,2\u20130,5 \u0431\u0430\u0442\u0430 \u0437\u0430 \u0434\u043e\u043b\u043b\u0430\u0440, \u043d\u043e \u043d\u0430 \u0441\u0443\u043c\u043c\u0435 \u043e\u0442\u043f\u0443\u0441\u043a\u0430 \u044d\u0442\u043e \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0432\u0440\u0430\u0449\u0430\u0435\u0442\u0441\u044f \u0432 \u0437\u0430\u043c\u0435\u0442\u043d\u044b\u0435 \u043f\u043e\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0438.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/senateexchange.org\/ruble-to-baht-exchange\/?start=seoc286\" style=\"border-radius:15px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Exchange on Telegram<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-green-cyan-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/66635503442?text=%D0%97%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D1%83%D0%B9%D1%82%D0%B5!%20%D0%97%D0%B0%D1%89%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9%20%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B4%20restart-seo\u0441286.%20!!!%D0%9E%D1%82%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D1%8C%D1%82%D0%B5%20%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B5%20%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%89%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5%20%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BA%20%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C.%20%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%BE%20%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%B5%D1%82%20%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%BC%20%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%89%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%82%D1%8C%20%D0%92%D0%B0%D1%81%20%D0%BE%D1%82%20%D0%BC%D0%BE%D1%88%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2!\" style=\"border-radius:15px\">Exchange on WhatsApp<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure style=\"overflow-x:auto; margin:0;\">\n  <table style=\"border-collapse:collapse; width:100%; font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,Ubuntu,'Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif; color:#2a2a33;\">\n    <thead>\n      <tr style=\"background:#eeecf9;\">\n        <th style=\"border:1px solid #dcd6f4; padding:10px 12px; text-align:left;\">Type of Banknote<\/th>\n        <th style=\"border:1px solid #dcd6f4; padding:10px 12px; text-align:left;\">Rate, THB per 1 USD<\/th>\n        <th style=\"border:1px solid #dcd6f4; padding:10px 12px; text-align:left;\">How many THB for 1,000 USD<\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/thead>\n    <tbody>\n      <tr style=\"background:#faf9ff;\">\n        <td style=\"border:1px solid #e2def7; padding:10px 12px;\">New dollars (modern design)<\/td>\n        <td style=\"border:1px solid #e2def7; padding:10px 12px;\">\u2248 32.91<\/td>\n        <td style=\"border:1px solid #e2def7; padding:10px 12px;\">\u2248 32,910 THB<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr style=\"background:#f6f5fd;\">\n        <td style=\"border:1px solid #e2def7; padding:10px 12px;\">Old dollars in good condition<\/td>\n        <td style=\"border:1px solid #e2def7; padding:10px 12px;\">\u2248 32.60\u201332.70<\/td>\n        <td style=\"border:1px solid #e2def7; padding:10px 12px;\">\u2248 32,600\u201332,700 THB<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr style=\"background:#faf9ff;\">\n        <td style=\"border:1px solid #e2def7; padding:10px 12px;\">Old or noticeably worn dollars<\/td>\n        <td style=\"border:1px solid #e2def7; padding:10px 12px;\">\u2248 32.40 and below<\/td>\n        <td style=\"border:1px solid #e2def7; padding:10px 12px;\">\u2248 32,400 THB or less<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A difference of 0.2 to 0.5 baht per dollar translates to roughly 0.5 to 1.5% of the total amount. With a substantial discount, this percentage could be even higher. For instance, when exchanging $1,000, you could incur a loss of 200 to 500 baht simply because the bills are old-style or appear \u201cworn out.\u201d As the amount increases, so do the potential losses. In some exchange offices, the discount for old and heavily worn bills can be even more significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Do_If_You_Have_Old_Dollars\"><\/span>What to Do If You Have Old Dollars<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have old dollar bills, it's important not to bring the entire stack to Thailand expecting that any currency exchange will accept them. Instead, it's wise to sort through your bills at home, especially very old $100 bills of the old design, as well as bills that are heavily wrinkled, torn, or written on. Such bills are likely to be rejected entirely or exchanged at a significantly lower rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Here\u2019s a simple plan to follow:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sort your bills<\/strong> into three piles: new, average, and clearly old or worn-out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take the new and average bills<\/strong>\u2014those based on their year of issue that are in good condition\u2014with you to Thailand. You can exchange these at reputable exchange offices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Exchange the oldest and most worn-out bills<\/strong> in your home country. Consider doing this at a bank, a specialized exchange office, or through services that accept the old design.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Once in Thailand<\/strong>, try to exchange the best-looking of the old dollars first\u2014bills that are of average age and appear relatively fresh. It's advisable to keep the oldest and most questionable bills for last, in case you find a bank or exchange office that specifically accepts the old design. Avoid relying on these as your primary source of money during your trip.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Buying_Old_Dollars_for_a_Trip_Isnt_Worth_It\"><\/span>Why Buying Old Dollars for a Trip Isn\u2019t Worth It<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Purchasing old dollars specifically for a trip is typically a bad idea. At banks and currency exchange offices in your country, the selling rate for new and old bills is often the same or varies only slightly. However, when you exchange them in Thailand, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/senateexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image4.jpg\" alt=\"\u041f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0441\u0447\u0451\u0442 \u0434\u0435\u043d\u0435\u0433\" class=\"wp-image-9170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/senateexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/senateexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/senateexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/senateexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image4-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Currency Conversion Explained<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how the situation works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At a bank in your home country, you buy dollars at a rate that is already inflated compared to the actual exchange rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instead of receiving new bills, you are mostly given old design bills at the same price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In Thailand, these old dollars are accepted less readily: some places may refuse them altogether, while others will offer a lower exchange rate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, you lose a few percent when purchasing the old dollars, and then lose even more when exchanging them for baht. In contrast, if you choose new bills from a recent year of issue, the initial overpayment is similar, but you will experience less loss in the long run. New bills are easier to use and provide a better exchange rate. Therefore, if you have the option, it\u2019s advisable to spend time searching for fresh bills instead of settling for whatever old bills are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Prepare_Cash_for_a_Trip_to_Thailand\"><\/span>How to Prepare Cash for a Trip to Thailand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preparing cash for a trip to Thailand involves two main tasks: selecting the right denominations and eliminating any bills that may cause issues while you\u2019re there. It's advisable to do this well in advance\u2014before buying tickets or booking accommodations\u2014so you're not scrambling at the last minute to find a place to exchange old or damaged dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To help you effectively prepare, here\u2019s a checklist:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gather the majority of your funds in new $100 bills featuring the modern design.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include a few new $50 and $20 bills for added flexibility, but don't let them dominate your budget.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Examine each bill for its condition: they should be free of tears, tape, severe creases, stains, ink markings, or stamps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set aside any old or heavily worn bills and exchange them at home if possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Store your dollars flat in a wallet or envelope instead of crumpled in a pocket or backpack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have the option between old and new designs at the same exchange rate, it\u2019s always better to choose the new series. While this doesn\u2019t guarantee that you won\u2019t encounter any cash-related issues in Thailand, it significantly minimizes the risk of being refused exchange and can help you secure a better rate on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_credit_card_as_a_backup_in_case_older_dollars_arent_accepted\"><\/span>A credit card as a backup in case older dollars aren\u2019t accepted<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A credit card can serve as a backup in case older U.S. dollar bills aren\u2019t accepted in Thailand. Even if you have prepared cash, you might encounter situations where some older bills are rejected or where you receive a very low exchange rate for them. In such cases, having a bank card as a backup is helpful. You can use it to pay for your hotel, make large purchases at shopping malls, and cover some transportation costs, while using cash for exchanges where the rates are more favorable. While this doesn't completely solve the problem with old bills, it reduces your reliance on a specific exchange office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>It's important to keep a few things in mind:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cards from different banks and payment systems may not work the same way in Thailand, and not all options are suitable for tourists from Russia and the CIS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Card payments are generally accepted in supermarkets, shopping malls, chain cafes, and hotels. However, cash in baht is still preferred at markets, small local cafes, and street vendors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A card should not replace the need to bring new U.S. dollar bills with you; it should be viewed as a supplement to cash, not your only means of payment, due to potential issues with old banknotes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(to right, #5C2C7F, #7a43a3); padding: 2em; border-radius: 8px; text-align: center; margin-top: 2em;\">\n  <h3 style=\"color: white; margin-top: 0;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_sure_if_theyll_accept_your_dollars\"><\/span>Not sure if they'll accept your dollars?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n  <p style=\"color: white; font-size: 1.1em;\">Send us a photo of the bills\u2014we\u2019ll check them and let you know right away where you can exchange them.<\/p>\n  <div style=\"margin-top: 1.5em;\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/telegram.me\/senateexchange\" style=\"background-color: #0088cc; color: white; padding: 0.75em 1.5em; border-radius: 30px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 500; margin-right: 10px; display: inline-block;\">\n      Telegram\n    <\/a>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/66812345678\" style=\"background-color: #25D366; color: white; padding: 0.75em 1.5em; border-radius: 30px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 500; display: inline-block;\">\n      WhatsApp\n    <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774596363231\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do they accept U.S. dollar bills issued before 1996 in Thailand?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Pre-1996 $100 bills are regarded as the oldest and most problematic type of currency.

Small denominations take up a lot of space, and people often find it inconvenient to count them. Additionally, some exchange offices may not accept them without hesitation. It's usually easier to bring new $100 or $50 bills and exchange them for baht to cover smaller expenses.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774596445659\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What should I do if an exchange office refuses to accept my dollars?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Don\u2019t argue or try to force them to accept the bill. It's better to check a few other exchange offices nearby and possibly one or two banks. If several places in a row refuse to take the bill, it\u2019s wise to not include these bills in your travel budget.
