How much Thai Baht can you import into Thailand from the Netherlands?
Dear readers,
How much Thai Baht can you import into Thailand from the Netherlands? I can get them cheaper here.
Is that 10.000 Baht or more?
Can Baht notes expire? Is there a possibility that they will no longer be accepted? Is there a website that shows which notes are still in circulation, perhaps from the National Bank of Thailand?
Regards,
Wim

Success.
See the text below that I found on the IATA website regarding Thailand:
Currency
Currency Import Regulations:
Local currency (Baht-THB): up to THB 50,000.- per person or THB 100,000.- per family holding one passport.
Foreign currencies: unlimited. However, amounts of foreign currency exceeding USD 20,000.- (or equivalent) must be declared to a Customs Officer upon arrival by all travelers.
hereby IATA link in addition to email from Cornelis:
https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/TH-Thailand-customs-currency-airport-tax-regulations-details.htm#Import règlements
I think the additional advantage of declaration when importing into Thailand is that you can also export that amount. You must be able to demonstrate that the money was obtained legally, e.g. a receipt of cash withdrawal.
It seems to me that if you are not familiar with the money, it is better to get it from the bank in Thailand.
You are definitely in deep trouble if you appear to be walking around in Thailand with a large amount of counterfeit money, and the source of your money does not seem to me to be a Dutch bank.
The exchange rates there are no better than in Thailand.
Yes, if you can get the baht in the Netherlands at a better rate than in Thailand, this indeed seems too good to be true. But it is also possible that someone has brought baht from Thailand and now wants to get rid of it through this route. Handing in bahts to the bank in NL does not yield much…………
It seems that you can get Thai Baht in the Netherlands that have an expiration date?;~)
Or are they banknotes from a dark period, or do they come from an old cigar box.
But seriously.
If they don't come from the bank, or you don't know the origin: don't trust it. Don't risk it.
Incidentally, to get the most baht out of your euro, you can exchange our euro notes in high denominations in Thailand. And to be sure, not in the back office ;~)
Moreover, when leaving the EU, a limit of € 10.000 applies - more is allowed, but must be declared and you may be asked about its origin later. We regularly read complaints/questions here and elsewhere from people (especially the queue for TH….) who are asked by customs staff how much cash they have with them. And - for the do / smart ones - it's about the sum of all amounts, in whatever currency.
The notes may have expired, had received 5 notes of 100 Baht from an acquaintance this year, give them to my wife in Thailand, she immediately told me that the album is no longer valid.
Dear Wim,
Why not send them via a western union branch from the Netherlands to a Thai bank. You may be able to open an internet bank account with a Thai bank from the Netherlands.
Don't run any risk. haha.
good luck Anthony
Strange advice, Anthony. Then you will first have to exchange them in euros…………..
I just got back from Thailand and I noticed that there are new banknotes with the new king on them. I can imagine that the old notes with the old king will soon no longer be valid, so pay close attention to that.
If you have neat banknotes that are no longer valid, or others, I am always interested in my collection. (also find some 1000 Baht with different signatures)

At the top of the search bar, type >>> declare money eugene.
This is about inputting money, not outputting it.
