How much should I budget daily for Thailand?

Your daily budget in Thailand will depend on where you're traveling and your travel style. On average, you should budget between THB 1,000 to THB 2,500 per day. Bangkok and Phuket are more expensive due to their popularity with tourists, while smaller towns and rural areas offer more budget-friendly options.

What are the denominations of the Thai Baht?

The Thai Baht (THB) is available in both coins and banknotes. Coins come in 1, 2, 5, and 10 Baht denominations, and banknotes are in THB 20, THB 50, THB 100, THB 500, and THB 1,000 denominations. It’s best to carry a mix of small coins and larger notes for various transactions.

Is cash widely accepted in Thailand?

Yes, cash is still the most widely accepted form of payment in Thailand, especially in local shops, markets, street vendors, taxis, and smaller businesses. While credit and debit cards are commonly used in major hotels, shopping malls, and restaurants, it's always a good idea to have cash on hand for more casual purchases and tips.

What charges are there for using a card in Thailand?

Using a credit or debit card in Thailand may incur foreign transaction fees, usually ranging from 1% to 3%. To avoid these additional fees, consider using a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card.

Are other currencies accepted in Thailand?

The official currency of Thailand is the Thai Baht (THB), and it’s the preferred currency for all transactions. While US Dollars (USD) or Euros might be accepted in some tourist areas or hotels, the exchange rates are usually not favourable. To avoid paying extra fees or poor rates, it’s best to use THB for your transactions.

Is tipping expected in Thailand?

Tipping in Thailand is not mandatory, but it is appreciated for good service. In restaurants, a tip of 10% to 15% is customary if service charges are not already included in the bill. Taxi drivers usually expect tips, so rounding up the fare or giving an extra THB 20 to THB 50 is a kind gesture. Tipping hotel staff or tour guides is also appreciated, typically around THB 50 to THB 100 for excellent service.

What is the cost of a meal in Thailand?

The cost of a meal in Thailand can vary greatly depending on where you dine. On average, a street food meal will cost you between THB 40 to THB 100. In mid-range restaurants, a meal typically costs around THB 150 to THB 300 per person. At high-end dining spots, such as those in Bangkok or Phuket, you can expect to pay between THB 500 to THB 1,500 or more per person for a meal.

How many Thai Baht should I buy?

The amount of Thai Baht you should buy depends on the length of your stay and how you prefer to manage your finances. It’s recommended to exchange enough THB for your initial days in Thailand, covering transportation, food, and small purchases. Once you’ve settled in, you can use the Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card to ensure you always have enough Baht on hand.

When is the best time to buy Thai Baht?

The best time to buy Thai Baht is when exchange rates are favourable. You can monitor exchange rates in the weeks leading up to your trip and purchase Baht in advance to lock in a good rate. Using a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card is a great way to secure a competitive rate for your trip.

Which countries accept the Thai Baht?

The Thai Baht (THB) is only accepted in Thailand. If you are traveling to other countries in Southeast Asia or beyond, you’ll need to exchange your Baht for the local currency. Always check the local currency of your destination before traveling.

What can I do with leftover Thai Baht?

We’ll buy back any foreign currency purchased with our Buy Back scheme so you’re not out of pocket after your big adventures.

What's the quickest way to get Thai Baht?

At Hays Travel you have several quick and easy methods to buy your currency. You can click & collect, call into branch, or choose home delivery.

You can also buy the Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card and load currency before your departure. ATMs are widely available in airports, hotels, and city centres.

Cash or card in Thailand: What's best?

In Thailand, both cash and cards are widely accepted, but cash is typically preferred for smaller transactions like shopping at markets, taking taxis, and tipping. Cards are better suited for larger purchases in high-end hotels, restaurants, and shopping malls. Carrying a combination of cash and a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card provides flexibility and security when traveling.

Is it safe to carry cash in Thailand?

Carrying cash in Thailand is generally safe, but it’s always important to be cautious in busy or crowded places. Use a money belt or secure wallet to protect your Baht. Thailand is considered a safe destination, but keeping your cash and valuables safe is always advisable. Using the Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card for larger purchases can also reduce the amount of cash you need to carry.
