Is today's CAD/THB rate good or bad?
We compare today's live Canadian Dollar to Thai Baht mid-market rate against its 30-day and 52-week trading range. When the rate is near the top of its recent range, CAD holders get more Thai Baht per unit - a better time to convert. When it is near the bottom, you may want to watch and wait.

What is the CAD/THB exchange rate?
The CAD/THB rate tracks how many Thai Baht one Canadian Dollar buys. The Canadian dollar - nicknamed the 'Loonie' - is closely tied to oil prices, since Canada is one of the world's largest energy exporters. Bank of Canada policy and US economic trends also influence CAD.
CAD is issued by the Bank of Canada (BOC) (ranked 8th globally - meaning it's the 8th most bought and sold currency in the world). THB is issued by the Bank of Thailand (BOT) (ranked 22nd). Full CAD profile | Full THB profile

Is today's CAD/THB rate good or bad?
The Canadian Dollar to Thai Baht mid-market rate shown above is the reference price before any provider adds fees or markup. It is not a guaranteed quote - your bank, card issuer, or transfer service will offer a different rate that includes their margin.
On a typical conversion, banks add 2-4% to this rate. The gap between the mid-market rate and what you actually receive is the real cost of converting - often larger than any flat fee. Use the mid-market rate on this page as your benchmark, then compare what your bank or transfer provider actually delivers.
Converting Canadian Dollar to Thai Baht? Read this first
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 CAD/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.
Did you know?
- Canada's two-dollar coin is called the 'Toonie' - a portmanteau of 'two' and 'Loonie' (the one-dollar coin). It was introduced in 1996.
- 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.
Frequently asked questions
Is now a good time to convert CAD to THB?
The best timing depends on your personal circumstances and when you need the Thai Baht, not on market timing. Check the rate panel above to see the current CAD/THB rate, then compare it to historical levels you may have observed.
Consider locking in a rate if you have a fixed travel date and the current rate aligns with your budget, rather than waiting for a potentially better rate that may never arrive. Monitor economic calendars for Bank of Canada and Bank of Thailand announcements if you're converting a large amount.
What moves the CAD/THB exchange rate?
The CAD/THB rate is driven by interest rate decisions from both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of Thailand - higher rates in either country typically strengthen that currency. Commodity prices, especially oil, significantly influence the Canadian Dollar since Canada is a major energy exporter, while Thai economic growth and tourism flows affect the Baht.
Political stability, inflation trends, and trade flows between Canada and Thailand also play roles, though this pair is less liquid than major currency pairs, meaning broader global risk sentiment can amplify movements.
Will Canadian Dollar get stronger or weaker against Thai Baht?
We don't make forecasts about currency direction - exchange rates depend on too many unpredictable factors including central bank decisions, geopolitical events, and economic surprises. What we can tell you is that historically this pair has been influenced by oil prices (favoring CAD weakness when energy falls), Thai tourism cycles, and interest rate differentials between the two central banks.
Review the chart above to see how CAD/THB has moved over different time periods, and follow Bank of Canada and Bank of Thailand policy announcements to understand the economic backdrop.
How can I avoid fees when converting CAD to THB?
Compare the all-in cost across different providers - banks typically charge higher markups than specialized currency services or online platforms, though fees vary significantly. Some travelers withdraw Thai Baht directly from ATMs in Thailand using a Canadian debit card, which often offers better rates than pre-converting at home, though you'll pay per-transaction ATM fees.
If converting before travel, avoid airport exchanges, which charge premium markups - instead use your bank or a currency specialist days before departure to shop rates and lock in a better deal.
Should I exchange Thai Baht at home or abroad?
Exchanging in Canada before travel typically costs more due to higher markups at banks and currency exchanges, though it provides certainty about your spending power. In Thailand, you'll generally find better rates at banks and dedicated exchange houses in Bangkok and major tourist areas compared to Canadian options, though rates may vary between locations.
ATM withdrawals in Thailand using a Canadian card often split the difference - you get a decent rate from your bank's interbank pricing, but pay per-transaction fees that offset savings on smaller amounts. Consider your comfort level with carrying cash and the total transaction costs rather than just the headline rate.
How far does Canadian Dollar go in Thailand?
Thailand remains relatively affordable for Canadian travelers, though costs have risen in popular tourist areas like Bangkok and Phuket compared to regional towns and countryside locations. Check the rate panel above to see the current CAD/THB conversion, then use that to estimate daily costs - mid-range hotels, street food, and local transport in Thailand are significantly cheaper than equivalent services in Canada, but luxury goods and imported items cost more.
Your purchasing power will stretch further if you spend time outside major tourist zones and eat where locals eat rather than in foreigner-oriented restaurants, though even tourist-heavy areas offer good value compared to North America.
What is the cheapest way to send CAD to THB?
International transfer services like Wise, OFX, and Remitly typically offer much lower fees and better exchange rates than Canadian banks for sending money to Thailand, especially for larger amounts. Banks charge both transfer fees and poor exchange rate markups that can eat 3-5% of your money, while specialist services often keep costs under 1-2% of the transfer.
For smaller amounts under CAD 1,000, online services may not save much after fees, but for anything larger, comparing quotes from at least three providers takes minutes and can save you hundreds of dollars - always confirm the final amount in Thai Baht before confirming.

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.
