    The money changer in Lee Plaza near the supermarket changes Bath for Peso, so maybe you can make a deal with them to change Peso for Baht.

    There is a sign on their front window that states to the effect "we do not sell foreign currencies".

    It would be worth while to ask Optimum Traders.

    just wait until you get to Bangkok and change them at Suvarnbhumi airport I'm sure you would find someone there that would accept them, in Bangkok and Pattaya you could also change them though not at every moneychanger. Other places in Thailand, not sure. Phuket maybe. I once tried and failed to buy some baht with Filipine peso in Chiang Mai.
