Exchange LAK for USD
I have some left over laos kip from a recent trip. Exchange rate at the airport was shocking so i fetched it home.
If anyone has a trip to laos coming up i have roughly $70 to exchange for usd (595,000)
Based in PP
its worth $69.80 at todays mid rate, $70 is a fair price for all involved. If not i can keep for my next trip to laos
Thanks

You want more than what is worth in Cambodia? If you said 60$ you might get a bote but I doubt it..

If someone tried to get LAK in cambodia they wouldnt get 595k for 70$.patcan wrote:You want more than what is worth in Cambodia? If you said 60$ you might get a bote but I doubt it..
Best of both worlds. Like i said, i am not desperate for the money and not gonna take a loss, if someone needs some rather than changing in laos (where they also wont get as good of a rate) they can contact me

Have you tried to change it anywhere other than the airport? Many of the money changers around the markets in town have exceptionally good rates for all sorts of currency.ReasonstobefearfulP3 wrote:If someone tried to get LAK in cambodia they wouldnt get 595k for 70$.patcan wrote:You want more than what is worth in Cambodia?

I used to go to Ly hour, they have multiple locations and good rates

Edit: I went to some money exchange near Russian Market and the lady was giving me terrible rate on HK Dollar. That was when I first started using Ly Hour after it was recommended by a work colleague and it saved me $10.
They have rates posted on electronic boards

In acleda today you’ll get 593,102.02 Kip for $70.
Why you think someone would do a higher risk, private purchase from an internet stranger for pretty much the same price is beyond me.

I have never left a country with anything but very small change in the local currency. If I have any large notes left I usually go on a final goodbye bender or a slap up meal.
k440, something to do when you're pissed.
If you think you're going back one day, why bother changing such a small amount?

He'd be smart to change it, I've brought back money from trips overseas and then returned with it to the foreign country a few years later only to be told that my old money had been was no longer usable. Like English 5 pound notes, for example.

Yeah just seen that rate. Maybe the rate I am offering is not that good...
Oh well, looks like I will keep it until I go back.
For anyone interested, the rate above is correct on the internet. However, changing back you would get $53 back.
Strange that the buy is so close to the spot rate but the sell is far away. I am sure normally they do a number of points either way

If only there were places in Phnom Penh a guy could go to in order to change one type of currency into another.ReasonstobefearfulP3 wrote: Oh well, looks like I will keep it until I go back.

By the way, what were you able to do with your five pound notes? Could you just bring them into any bank and have them Exchanged? I had to do something similar when they changed the 500 yen coins in Japan. They didn't work in any of the 200 million vending machines, ticket machines ect so I had to take a bag of them to the bank and get all new ones. Also same deal with the 2000 yen notes now that I remember.
