Currency & Money
Baht (THB; symbol ฿) = 100 satang. Banknotes are issued in denominations of ฿1,000, ฿500, ฿100, ฿50, and ฿20. Coins are available in ฿10, ฿5, ฿2, and ฿1, as well as 50 and 25 satang.
Credit cards are widely accepted in Thailand, especially in hotels, shopping malls, larger restaurants, and tourist areas. Visa and Mastercard are the most commonly used. It is advisable to carry some cash for use in markets, small shops, and remote areas.
ATMs are widely available throughout the country, including in cities, towns, airports, and tourist destinations. Most ATMs accept international cards and dispense Thai baht. A small fee is usually charged for international withdrawals, so travellers may prefer to withdraw larger amounts at once.
Travellers entering or leaving Thailand with more than US$20,000 or its equivalent in foreign currency must declare it to customs.
Travellers leaving Thailand can only take up to 500,000 baht when travelling to countries that share a border with Thailand, and up to 50,000 baht to other destinations.
