How many baht do they give for a dollar in Thailand? Current exchange rate for 2026.

The exchange rate of the Thai baht (THB) to the US dollar (USD) is constantly changing. As of April 2026, the market rate is approximately 1 USD = 32.22 THB. However, this is an "ideal" rate that you won't find at exchange offices.

The actual cash exchange rate at Thai banks and exchange points is slightly lower and fluctuates in the range:

• 1 USD ≈ 31.58 — 32.16 THB

Several factors influence the final amount you will receive:

1. Bill denomination: For $50 and $100 bills, they give the highest rate. For small bills ($1, $5, $20 USD), the rate is lower. For example, the difference between exchanging $100 as one bill and twenty $5 bills can be 30-40 baht.
2. Exchange location: At airports (except for a good point in Suvarnabhumi) and hotels, the rate is usually worse. The most favorable rates are at chain exchange offices in major cities (Superrich in Bangkok, T.T. Exchange in Pattaya).
3. Bill condition: Wrinkled, torn, or old dollars (without the blue stripe) may be accepted at a reduced rate.
