JPY/THB rate statistics
Is today's JPY/THB rate good or bad?
We compare today's live Japanese Yen 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, JPY 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.
The Japanese yen is a safe-haven currency - it tends to strengthen during global market stress. Japan's ultra-low interest rate policy means the yen is often used as a funding currency, which amplifies its volatility during risk-on/risk-off shifts.
The live analysis below updates throughout market hours and shows exactly where today's rate sits in context.
What is the JPY/THB exchange rate?
The JPY/THB rate tracks how many Thai Baht one Japanese Yen buys. The yen is the world's third most-traded currency and a traditional safe haven. JPY pairs tend to move sharply during global market stress as investors repatriate capital into yen-denominated assets.
JPY is issued by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) (ranked 3rd globally - meaning it's the 3rd most bought and sold currency in the world). THB is issued by the Bank of Thailand (BOT) (ranked 22nd). Full JPY profile | Full THB profile
Japanese Yen to Thai Baht is commonly checked by tourists visiting Thailand and digital nomads based in Bangkok or Chiang Mai.
Is today's JPY/THB rate good or bad?
The Japanese Yen 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 Japanese Yen 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 JPY/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?
- Japan's 500-yen coin is one of the highest-value coins in regular worldwide circulation, worth about $3.30.
- 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 JPY to THB?
Timing a currency conversion depends on your personal circumstances rather than market prediction. Check the rate panel above to see where JPY/THB stands relative to recent levels, then consider whether you need Thai Baht soon or can wait.
The Bank of Japan and Bank of Thailand both influence this pair through monetary policy, so watching their interest rate decisions and economic data releases can help you understand the context for current rates. Ultimately, if you need Thai Baht for travel or expenses, the real cost difference between converting today or next week is often modest compared to the convenience of having funds ready.
What moves the JPY/THB exchange rate?
The JPY/THB rate reflects the interest rate gap between the Bank of Japan and the Bank of Thailand, since higher Thai rates tend to attract investment into Thai assets and weaken the yen relative to the baht. Economic data from both countries - including inflation, GDP growth, and employment - also drive the pair, as does broader risk sentiment among investors.
The Bank of Japan's yield curve control policy and the Bank of Thailand's inflation targets are key policy anchors. Capital flows between Japan and Thailand, tourism volumes, and trade imbalances between the two countries all influence how much yen investors demand relative to baht.
Will Japanese Yen get stronger or weaker against Thai Baht?
We cannot forecast future exchange rate movements - that would require predicting both central banks' policy paths, global economic conditions, and investor sentiment months ahead. What we can say is that factors to watch include the interest rate differential between the Bank of Japan and Bank of Thailand, inflation trends in both countries, and shifts in regional risk appetite.
The chart above shows how JPY/THB has moved historically, which provides context for current levels. Your best approach is to review recent central bank statements and economic calendars, then decide based on your own timeline and needs rather than trying to time a perfect rate.
How can I avoid fees when converting JPY to THB?
Fees vary widely by provider, so compare the all-in cost - not just the exchange rate - across banks, online transfer services, and currency specialists before committing. Some providers bundle the exchange rate markup and transfer fee together in ways that aren't transparent, so ask each one for the total yen you'll lose on a sample transaction.
Using ATMs in Thailand to withdraw baht directly from a Japanese bank account sometimes costs less than pre-exchanging at home, though this depends on your specific bank's overseas ATM fees. Keep receipts and documentation for any large conversion in case you need it for tax or compliance purposes.
Should I exchange Thai Baht at home or abroad?
Exchanging before you leave Japan typically gives you more time to shop rates and lock in a rate, but airport exchanges in Japan often charge higher markups than banks or online services. Once you arrive in Thailand, you can compare rates at local banks and exchange booths before converting larger amounts, though small exchanges at the airport are often convenient despite slightly higher costs.
ATMs in Thai cities usually offer competitive rates set by the Bank of Thailand, making them a good option for accessing baht throughout your trip. The comparison table on this page can help you see the difference between providers, but remember that small travel amounts may cost nearly the same regardless of method.
How far does Japanese Yen go in Thailand?
The yen's purchasing power in Thailand depends on current exchange rates shown in the rate panel above and your spending patterns. Thailand remains relatively affordable compared to Japan for many travelers - accommodation, street food, and local transport are typically cheaper in baht terms than equivalent services in Tokyo or major Japanese cities.
Your yen will go further outside Bangkok and tourist zones, where prices are lower and vendors may negotiate. Cost of living also varies by lifestyle: a temple stay or street food diet stretches yen much further than fine dining or luxury hotels, so your personal choices matter more than the exchange rate itself.
What is the cheapest way to send JPY to THB?
Online remittance services and fintech transfer platforms often charge lower fees than traditional banks for sending yen to Thailand, though you should verify the all-in cost including the exchange rate markup. If you're sending a large amount, specialist currency brokers may offer better rates than retail options, but they typically have higher minimums.
Transferring from a Japanese bank to a Thai bank account usually costs less per transaction than multiple small transfers or cash exchanges. Compare at least three providers (bank, online service, and specialist) using the same amount to see which one delivers the most baht to Thailand, since quoted fees can hide unfavorable exchange rates.

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.
