Currency Exchange Warning Thai Baht (Tip Vlog) Bangkok Thailand

2.12.15
I Was in MBK Centre in Bangkok and after a nice lunch in the food court I went down to the 4th floor to get some money changed from English pounds into Thai baht.
While I was in Pattaya I had a little trouble with this as notes with any writing on them were not being accepted.
So with this in mind, I took all the notes with no writing on with me to get changed.
I went to the desk and was told any notes with any marks at all would not be accepted. Even a fold mark was no good!
I could not believe what I was hearing. So after a short argument, I went to another bank and they took all my notes and changed them !! WTF?
So beware of any notes with any sort of marks, dirt, pen marks, rips, tears... anything apart from a brand new note was not being accepted at a lot of currency exchanges.
Even though the Thai notes I was given had all sorts of marks on them!
