About the Thai Baht
Thai banknotes come in 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000 baht, currently featuring King Rama X. Treating banknotes carelessly is deeply disrespectful in Thailand because they bear the King's portrait — never step on or throw money.
Cards and QR payments are common in Bangkok malls, but street stalls, markets, tuk-tuks and taxis still run on cash. 20 and 100 baht notes do the daily work; a 1,000 baht note is nearly impossible to break at a food stall.
Tips for Exchanging Baht
Handle notes with respect
Notes carry the King's portrait. Keeping them neat and never stepping on them is basic etiquette in Thailand.
Live on 20s and 100s
Street meals cost 50–80 baht. Break 1,000 baht notes early at convenience stores or malls.
Cash for markets and taxis
QR payment is spreading, but cash is the traveler's reliable option — small notes also cover hotel tips (about 20 baht).
