Currency
Baht (THB; symbol ฿) = 100 satang. Notes are in denominations of ฿1,000, 500, 100, 50, 20 and 10. Coins are in denominations of ฿10, 5 and 1, and 50 and 25 satang.
Currency Exchange
Foreign currencies can be exchanged at banks (which have the best rates), hotels (which charge high commissions) and, in larger towns, bureaux de change (generally open 0800-2000). Outside large towns and tourist areas, notes higher than ฿500 may be difficult to exchange, so visitors are advised to carry small change.
Credit/Debit Cards and ATMs
American Express, MasterCard and Visa are widely accepted. ATMs are found in all major cities and almost all provincial banks.
Traveller's Cheques
Accepted by all banks and large hotels and shops. To avoid additional exchange rate charges, travellers are advised to take traveller's cheques in US Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling.
Currency Restrictions
Restrictions apply.
Banking Hours
Mon-Fri 0830-1530.
