Minor tears are usually accepted, but severely damaged notes can be exchanged at banks under the Bank of Thailand’s rules.
If clearly genuine,
exchangeable at full value without form at any GSB branch.
Each half of a split note can be redeemed for 50% value with an exchange form.
If the banknote has been pieced together from two different notes, possibly due to a printing error,
and both parts are from the same denomination and series, it can be exchanged for the full value.
If more than half remains
and damage wasn’t intentional,
exchangeable at full value.
If the banknote is still reasonably recognisable as an authentic Thai note, it can be exchanged at full value.
Must be submitted with required documents; severe cases go to the Bank of Thailand for verification (up to 60 days).
The Bank of Thailand’s Banknote Clinic offers mobile exchange services nationwide.
Damaged banknotes are also accepted at any GSB branch or commercial banks across Thailand.
