Currency in Thailand – The Thai Baht (THB)
What currency should you take to Thailand?
The official currency of Thailand is the Thai Baht, internationally abbreviated as THB. The currency symbol is ฿, and prices across Thailand are typically listed using this symbol.
Key Information About the Thai Baht
If you’re travelling to Thailand, whether for a beach holiday, cultural adventure, or business trip - it’s essential to understand how the local currency works to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.
How is the Thai Baht Structured?
1 Thai baht is divided into 100 satang.
Banknotes in Circulation:
- ฿20
- ฿50
- ฿100
- ฿500
- ฿1,000
Thai banknotes feature images of the Thai monarchy, with the current series showing King Maha Vajiralongkorn (Rama X) on the front. The reverse side illustrates key moments and figures in Thai history. The banknotes are colour-coded for easy recognition.
