You\u2019ll be using it for the majority of your transactions. As usual, avoid exchanging cash at airports and hotels as these usually offer bad rates. Baht notes are significantly more fragile and susceptible to tearing than British bank notes. Make sure yours are not damaged as some shop\/restaurant owners won\u2019t accept them and ripped bank notes can be seen as disrespectful to the king.<\/p><h4 id=\"debit-cards\"><i class=\"icon-debit-cards-solid icon-size-large\"><\/i> Taking a debit card or credit card<\/h4><p><span>First things first \u2013 always notify your home bank before you head to Thailand to stop your card being blocked by anti-fraud software. When using your card always choose to be charged in Thai baht to save yourself money. Why? Because<\/span><span> the dynamic currency conversion (DCC) which allows you to see the cost of the transaction in your home currency <\/span><span> leaves you exposed to foreign banks poor exchange rates and additional hidden fees. <\/span><\/p><p><span>Most debit cards will charge a currency conversion fee of around 2\u20133% when you make a purchase or withdraw cash, but it may be worth checking with your bank to double-check if this is the case. <\/span>Both debit and credit cards can now be used in many mid to high-end hotels, shops and restaurants in big cities but credit cards should not be used to withdraw cash due to interest rates and cash advance charges. Instead use a debit card or prepaid travel card. Visa, Mastercard, JBC and American Express<\/p><ul class=\"list-4\"><li><strong>Tip:<\/strong><span> <\/span>Some financial institutions give you<span> <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com.au\/free-travel-insurance-with-credit-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">complimentary international travel insurance<\/a><span> <\/span>when you charge the cost of your return travel ticket to your credit card.<\/li><\/ul>\n<div id=\"lazy0000000001\"><\/div>\n<script type=\"application\/json\" id=\"lazyloaded-assets-json-lazy0000000001\" class=\"lazyloaded-assets-json\">{\"critical-scripts\":[],\"scripts\":[],\"styles\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.finder.com\\\/parent-theme\\\/shortcodes\\\/arrow-link\\\/prod\\\/arrow-link.b54cdc282fcfbd8bdad2.css\"]}<\/script><h4 id=\"travel-money-cards\"><i class=\"icon-travel-money-line icon-size-large\"><\/i> Using prepaid travel cards<\/h4><p>Travel cards offer a safer way to withdraw cash and can be useful at helping with budgeting as you can only spend what is on the card. Using prepaid travel cards also means you can pre-load your exchange rate beforehand, offering you the chance to do so at times when rates are looking more promising rather than relying on live exchange rates which could be unfavourable at the time. Not all cards charge for for currency conversion, but these will certainly charge you at ATMs.<\/p><p>However, using a prepaid travel card is typically more expensive than using the cards you already have in your wallet. They often carry hidden fees such as inactivity costs, reload fees and issue fees. Not all travel cards support Thai baht \u2013 for those that don\u2019t you\u2019ll pay a currency conversion fee when you withdraw cash or purchase a good or service. For help deciding on which travel card to go for, check out our comparison.<\/p><ul class=\"list-4\"><li><strong>Tip:<span> <\/span><\/strong>Financial institutions which provide a travel card also make money by applying a higher margin to the exchange rate. You can get a better rate using a debit card or credit card.<\/li><\/ul>\n<div id=\"lazy0000000002\"><\/div>\n<h4 id=\"travellers-cheque\"><i class=\"icon-income-protect-solid icon-size-large\"><\/i> Using traveller\u2019s cheques<\/h4><p><span>Traveller\u2019s cheques provide important security advantages over other forms of travel money. <\/span> Each cheque has a unique serial number and can only be cashed with photo identification. However, using travellers cheques can be expensive with institutions charging a commission of around 150THB to cash cheques. Because of this it\u2019s usually best to get cheques in relatively large denominations to minimise fees. Alternatively, you\u2019re often better off using a debit card or travel card which lets you make cheap or free ATM withdrawals.<\/p><h4><i class=\"icon-loans-solid icon-size-large\"><\/i>Using an ATM<\/h4><p>It\u2019s always best to check with your individual bank to check its withdrawal fees and to see if it has any arrangements with Thai banks which will offer more favourable charges. In most cases its likely you\u2019ll be charged by both your bank and the ATM to withdraw money with the ATM alone likely to add on a fee of around \u00a32\u2013\u00a34. ATMs are available in any of Thailand\u2019s cities and an increasing number of smaller towns.<\/p><p>Mastercard and Visa cards can be used to make cash withdrawals from the majority of ATMs in Thailand. The maximum withdrawal limit varies depending on the machine. Machines from banks with a presence in Britain such as HSBC have a higher daily withdrawal limit compared to ATMs from Thai banks.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Tip:<span> <\/span><\/strong>However, if you\u2019re heading to a smaller town or village it is strongly recommended to take enough cash with you to live as there is no guarantee one will be available.<\/li><\/ul><h3 id=\"money\" dir=\"ltr\">Currency: Thai baht<\/h3><p>The official currency of Thailand is the baht. The currency is available in both coins and notes and comes in the following denominations \u2013 coins of 1, 2, 5 and 10 baht and notes of 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000 baht. There are currently 2 legally accepted editions of bank notes in Thailand, both with an image of the king on the back. Make sure you treat your money with care as bad treatment could be seen as disrespect to the king. See the different bank note denominations below to familiarise yourself with the currency, save confusion when spending and ensure you\u2019re not being overcharged.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.finder.com.au\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/Thai-Baht.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/Thai-Baht-300x227.png\" alt=\"thaibaht\" width=\"388\" height=\"293\" class=\"wp-image-64729 aligncenter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/Thai-Baht-300x227.png?fit=180 180w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/Thai-Baht-300x227.png?fit=360 360w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/Thai-Baht-300x227.png?fit=600 600w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/Thai-Baht-300x227.png?fit=900 900w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/Thai-Baht-300x227.png?fit=1164 1164w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1164px) 100vw, 1164px\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p><h3 id=\"howmuch\" dir=\"ltr\">How much money will I need?<\/h3><p>On a budget?
