The monetary unit of Thailand is the Thai baht (international designation THB, Baht). One baht is divided into 100 satang, but satang are practically not used in circulation nowadays.
Coins in circulation include denominations of 25 and 50 satang, and 1, 2, 5, and 10 baht. Banknotes come in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 baht.
It's important to remember the correct spelling: in English, the currency is written as Baht, not Bath (which translates to "bathroom"). This mistake often appears even in automated translations of reviews.
Transactions within Thailand are conducted only in the local currency. You cannot pay with dollars or euros in shops, restaurants, or for servicesβyou will need baht everywhere.
