Is it true that in Pattaya they don’t change 1996 dollars, or change at a lower rate
The travel agency explained to me that they take dollars of 1996 very reluctantly, since there are many counterfeit bills of this particular year of issue, what nonsense, I bought dollars at the bank .....

Do not change in one exchanger - go to another. There are more of them than we have pre-election layouts of political parties (: In the same way as with dilapidated banknotes ... And it’s better not to trust travel agencies that employ villagers who came to conquer Kyiv (:

almost everywhere they change calmly, as long as the bills are not fake, then there really can be big problems. Yes, and the Thais themselves, they take dollars on an equal footing with bahts quite calmly

The travel agency warned you - it's true, they should only inform you. Upon arrival, the guide who meets you will also warn you that 1996 dollars are not willing to change. I arrived from Thailand on 4.10, I had banknotes of 1996, they did the exchange, but only the rate was a little less. Also, the exchange rate is different for banknotes of $100 (33.94 baht for 1 dollar), $50 (from 31-28 baht for 1 dollar), $20 (27 and less).

READ CAREFULLY!!! In Pattaya, in almost every exchange office (98%) there is a sign - WE DO NOT TAKE BACKS 1996 !!! in English naturally. They checked whether they would take it or not, - they sent us, and they said - guys, you soar in English, but here it is written ..... In short - you only need to go with new bakari!

They do not change ....... It was in May 2007. And the exchange rate for small bills is lower. Take 100 and 50 with you.

In the summer of 2006 in Pattaya I changed without problems! But I also heard about the fact that old dollars do not change, so just in case I took both old and new money on the trip (just in case). First of all, I fused the old ones - partly paid for the tour, partly changed in the street exchanger for baht. And then I calmly spent new banknotes;)
