What currency is used in Thailand?

The official currency of Thailand is the Thai baht (code THB, symbol ฿). One baht is divided into 100 satang, but satang are practically no longer used in circulation. In use are coins with denominations of 1, 2, 5, and 10 baht, as well as banknotes with denominations of 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 baht.

It is important to remember that you can only pay in baht within the kingdom. You cannot pay with dollars, euros, or rubles in shops, restaurants, or for services—they must first be exchanged for the local currency.
