What Currency Should You Take to Thailand?

Or

What money to use in Thailand?

Thai Baht is the currency of Thailand but the best option for you (Indians travelling to Thailand) is to convert INR to USD here in India. It will be cheaper for you. Converting INR to Thai Baht in India, if Baht is available, is very expensive. You can obtain US Dollars at Interbank Rates with a surcharge of 0.5% from ForexOnWheels. And you will be able to exchange US Dollar to Thai Baht in Thailand at the same margin. You will end up paying just 1% in conversion charges.

Never change currency at an Airport as they literally rob you. Changing currency at an airport is an expensive proposition.

You will get Thai Baht in India but it will be at Interbank Rate + 5–6% conversion charges. Thai Baht is considered an exotic currency which means it is thinly traded and not available easily in the Indian market.

How much money do you need a day in Thailand?

On an average, you will need USD 25 per day in Thailand. If you want a bit more comfort then you will need 30-35 US Dollars.
