What you need to know about the currency Thai Baht
The baht (THB) has been the official currency of Thailand since 1902 and was originally known as "tical". Its symbol is ฿. Before its introduction, shells, clay coins, and pot duang were used as money. Currently, the issuance depends on the Bank of Thailand.
The bahts currently in circulation as banknotes in Thailand are 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 Thai baht. Commemorative series of other denominations are frequently issued, for example, 60, 70, or 80 baht. Many of these Thai banknotes are collectible.
The Thai currency also comes in the form of coins of 1, 2, 5, and 10 bahts, as well as 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 satangs. Each baht coin is divided into 100 satangs. All coins in Thailand are circular, made of aluminium, copper, or nickel, and feature the face of the king.
In Thailand, it is considered rude to keep banknotes in the back pocket of your trousers. Since they bear the image of the king, one would be sitting on it, and this act is seen as an offence against everything the monarchy represents. The same applies if they fall or are stepped on.
Some shops in Thailand, especially in rural areas, display banknotes of low denominations in front of the shops as a symbol of health and respect for the king. Many are authentic open-air museums, as they showcase designs or denominations that are no longer in circulation.

Any questions? We will resolve them for you:
What is the best exchange rate from Australian dollars to Thai Baht?
Thai Baht exchange rates fluctuate and change daily. You can check the exchange rate of the day in the information panel of our calculator by selecting Australian dollars to Thai Baht rate or in any of Global Exchange offices.
Will I be charged a commission for changing my Australian dollars into Thai Baht?
No, Global Exchange does not charge any commissions or fees for exchanging Australian dollars to Thai Baht. All transactions (at the offices or online) worth AUD 1,000 or above are fee-free. We only have a small margin, which is lower when you change your currency online than when you change it in person at the airport.
Do I get the same Australian dollar to Thai Baht exchange rate in this website or in any of your offices?
No, the Australian dollar to Thai Baht exchange rate that applies to orders placed on the Global Exchange website in Australia is more advantageous to you than at the airport offices. This ensures you get the best exchange rates online. If you need more information or have any questions, please contact our contact form.
How will I be delivered the Thai Baht I ordered online?
After placing your Click & Collect order online, you can collect it from our offices at Sydney Airport. As well as getting the best exchange rate for your online exchange (more travel cash for the same price), this service saves you time and reduces anxiety, as you'll have the currency you need ready for your trip abroad.
Why does the Australian dollar to Thai Baht exchange rate seem cheaper and more attractive in the Internet than in exchange businesses?
The exchange rates shown in Internet currency converters are for currency wholesalers (foreign exchange transactions for financial and international trade companies), not for the public. Those cheaper rates are for the foreign exchange, not for currency exchange operations in cash.
What is the difference between foreign exchange and currency exchange?
Foreign exchange (Forex, for short) is the market that establishes the value of the currencies in which international transactions will be performed, at a wholesale level. Currency exchange, on the other hand, is the market in which individual currencies are sold in retail on a certain price depending on demand. Currency exchange entails cash transactions, thus adding logistic costs, and therefore their exchange rates are somewhat “worse” than the Forex rates, which only move money between accounts.
What is the difference of changing my Australian dollars to Thai Baht with you or at a bank?
Banks charge margins and commissions, and you will have to go twice: to order the money and to pick it up. At Global Exchange you can place your foreign currency order online and pick up your foreign currency order at the airport before boarding.
