The Thai Baht is the official currency of Thailand, and it's essential to have a solid understanding of its conversion rates when traveling or doing business in the country. The Thai Baht is divided into 100 satang, with coins and banknotes available in various denominations.
One of the most important things to know about the Thai Baht is that it's pegged to the US Dollar, with a fixed exchange rate. This means that the value of the Baht is directly linked to the value of the US Dollar, making it easier to convert.
You'll often see the Thai Baht abbreviated as THB, and it's widely accepted in Thailand's major cities and tourist areas. In fact, many businesses, including restaurants and shops, will display prices in both Thai Baht and US Dollars to cater to tourists.
The Thai government also issues a range of banknotes and coins, with the most common denominations being 10, 20, 50, 100, and 500 Baht.
Convert THB to USD
Converting Thai Baht to US Dollars is a straightforward process, but it's essential to know the current exchange rate. In the last 30 days, the 30-day average exchange rate for THB to USD was 0.0292, with a 30-day high of 0.0297 and a 30-day low of 0.0288.
This means that if you exchange 3 THB, you'll get approximately $0.087 USD.

Features

The Thai Baht has a rich history and unique features that set it apart from other currencies. The standard circulation coins were issued by Thailand from 1988 to 2008.
One of the notable features of the Thai Baht coins is their bimetallic composition, consisting of an aluminium bronze center and a copper-nickel ring. This unique composition gives the coins a distinctive look and feel.
The coins are also relatively small, measuring 26 mm in diameter and weighing 8.5 grams. They have a thickness of 2 mm and a round shape, making them easy to handle and store.
The Thai Baht coins feature a portrait of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the Wat Arun (Temple of the Dawn) with the Chao Phraya River in the background.
