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.
