Travelling to Thailand? ATMs are widely available but most Thai banks charge a 220 THB foreign-card fee per withdrawal. Using a card with no foreign transaction fees and choosing "without conversion" when prompted avoids the worst markups. Currency exchange booths in tourist areas like Khao San Road often offer worse rates than bank branches.
Watch out: Airport bureau de change counters routinely mark up CNY/THB by 8-12%. Withdrawing Thai Baht from a local ATM or using a no-fee card is almost always cheaper. Always decline Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) when paying by card.

- Thailand's king appears on all Thai baht banknotes, and it is technically illegal to step on Thai currency because it bears the royal image.

How this rate is calculated
We prefer a direct rate from our primary data source when one is available. If a direct quote is unavailable, we compute a cross-rate through a major intermediary currency (usually USD or EUR). When a rate is derived rather than directly quoted, we label it on the page. Full methodology.
