USD/THB rate statistics
Is today's USD/THB rate good or bad?
We compare today's live US 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, USD 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 Thai baht is commonly converted by the millions of tourists visiting Thailand each year. Tourism accounts for roughly 12% of Thai GDP, making THB sensitive to travel season patterns. Bank of Thailand policy and regional sentiment also matter.

Converting US 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 USD/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?
- The US $100 bill is the most counterfeited denomination globally - the Secret Service estimates about 0.01% of all hundreds in circulation are fake.
- 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
What moves the USD/THB exchange rate?
Bank of Thailand interest rate decisions, Thai tourism flows (a major GDP contributor), agricultural export prices, and broader sentiment toward Asian emerging markets.
Is it better to use a card or withdraw cash for Thai Baht?
For most travelers, a card with no foreign transaction fee is the simplest and cheapest option - provided you always choose to pay in Thai Baht (the local currency) rather than US Dollar. Choosing your home currency triggers Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), which typically adds 3-5% on top. If you need cash, withdraw from ATMs in-country rather than exchanging at airports.
How much money should I bring to Thailand?
Thailand is relatively affordable. A mid-range daily budget is roughly 2,000-4,000 THB per person ($55-110 at recent rates). Use the conversion table above to convert your budget. Cards are accepted in cities and tourist areas, but you will need cash for markets, street food, and smaller shops. ATMs are everywhere but charge a 220 THB foreign card fee.

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.
