KRW/THB rate statistics
Is today's KRW/THB rate good or bad?
We compare today's live South Korean Won 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, KRW 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 live analysis below updates throughout market hours and shows exactly where today's rate sits in context.
What is the KRW/THB exchange rate?
The KRW/THB rate tracks how many Thai Baht one South Korean Won buys. South Korea's won reflects the country's export-heavy economy - led by semiconductors, electronics, and automotive manufacturing. Bank of Korea policy and global tech demand are the main drivers.
KRW is issued by the Bank of Korea (BOK) (ranked 11th globally - meaning it's the 11th most bought and sold currency in the world). THB is issued by the Bank of Thailand (BOT) (ranked 22nd). Full KRW profile | Full THB profile
South Korean Won to Thai Baht is commonly checked by tourists visiting Thailand and digital nomads based in Bangkok or Chiang Mai.
Is today's KRW/THB rate good or bad?
The South Korean Won 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 South Korean Won 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 KRW/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.

Frequently asked questions
Is now a good time to convert KRW to THB?
Timing currency conversions depends on your personal circumstances and risk tolerance rather than market conditions alone. Check the rate panel above to see where KRW/THB stands relative to recent levels, then compare it against your travel dates and budget flexibility.
The Bank of Korea and Bank of Thailand both influence this pair through monetary policy, so monitoring their statements can help you understand rate direction, but only you can decide if current levels suit your conversion needs.
What moves the KRW/THB exchange rate?
The KRW/THB rate responds to interest rate decisions from both the Bank of Korea and the Bank of Thailand, as well as each country's inflation data, GDP growth, and trade balances. South Korea's export-heavy economy - particularly semiconductors and automobiles - affects won strength, while Thailand's tourism sector and manufacturing output influence baht movements.
Capital flows between the two countries, regional geopolitical developments, and broader US dollar strength also shape this pair's direction.
Will South Korean Won get stronger or weaker against Thai Baht?
We don't forecast currency movements, but you can watch the comparison table on this page to track how KRW/THB has behaved over different time periods. Historical patterns, central bank rate expectations, and economic data releases all influence the pair's trajectory - reviewing these factors yourself will help you form your own outlook.
The chart above shows how this pair has fluctuated, providing context for understanding its recent behavior.
How can I avoid fees when converting KRW to THB?
Compare conversion options by checking whether your bank charges for international transfers, whether local currency exchanges in South Korea or Thailand offer competitive rates versus banks, and whether online transfer services provide better value. Many travelers find that withdrawing Thai Baht directly from ATMs in Thailand using a Korean debit card sometimes costs less than exchanging large amounts before departure, though your specific bank's fees matter greatly.
Request exact fee quotes from multiple providers - banks, currency exchanges, and remittance services - so you can calculate the real cost of each option rather than comparing rates alone.
Should I exchange Thai Baht at home or abroad?
This depends on the comparison between Korean won-to-baht rates offered in South Korea versus rates and markups available in Thailand. Generally, exchanging money before you depart gives you certainty over costs and allows time to compare rates, but Thai currency exchanges in Bangkok and tourist areas often offer competitive rates and may charge lower fees than Korean banks.
Consider requesting a quote from your Korean bank and comparing it to rates you find online for Thai money changers, then factor in any fees both would charge to determine which option works better for your situation.
How far does South Korean Won go in Thailand?
Your won stretches further in Thailand's smaller towns and rural areas than in Bangkok's tourist districts, where prices reflect international demand. Thailand's cost of living varies significantly by region and your spending habits - street food and local transportation are inexpensive throughout the country, while upscale hotels and foreign restaurants cater to higher budgets.
Check the rate panel above to see the current KRW/THB rate, then research typical prices for accommodation, meals, and activities in your specific Thai destinations to estimate your daily budget in won terms.
What is the cheapest way to send KRW to THB?
Compare total costs - not just exchange rates - across your bank's international transfer service, specialized remittance companies, and online money transfer platforms, as each charges different fees and applies different markups to the KRW/THB rate. Some services charge flat fees regardless of amount, while others take a percentage, so the cheapest option depends on whether you're sending a small or large sum.
Request quotes from at least three providers showing the exact amount of baht you'll receive for your won, since the all-in cost varies significantly and the advertised rate doesn't tell you the true value you're getting.

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.
