Leftover Thai Baht: What to Do When You Get Home

Thailand sends most visitors home with a fan of colourful notes, too small a sum to plan around but too large to ignore. Unless a return trip is likely, the tidy answer is a currency buy-back service; providers such as Travel FX exchange leftover baht back into pounds.

Baht travels badly

Thai baht is little use outside Thailand and neighbouring border towns, so unlike dollars or euros it has no second life in other destinations. Home drawers are where baht goes to hibernate.

Condition matters

Keep notes flat and unmarked, since torn or heavily worn notes may be declined by any exchange service.
