Buy Thai Baht (THB) before your departure to Thailand
Planning an exotic trip to Thailand? Get ready to be amazed—Thailand has something for everyone: shopping, sunshine, beaches, flavorful and fragrant food, Buddhist temples, and a vibrant nightlife. In Thailand, the local currency is the Thai Baht (THB). It's important to understand how to handle the currency of your destination country. Cash is widely used in Thailand—for shopping, taxi rides, and street food purchases. To be well-prepared for your trip, we recommend exchanging a portion of your Danish Kroner into Thai Baht (THB) before you leave. This way, you’ll have time to compare exchange rates and get the best deal.

- Pai: A small village perfect for escaping the crowds and connecting with nature. A great spot for trekking. You can also visit Chiang Rai nearby.
- Koh Samui: Ideal for a family holiday and relaxing under palm trees.
- Singapore’s Colonial District: A must-do, as it’s the historical heart of Singapore.
- Southern Beaches: Absolutely essential and stunning: Maya Bay, Koh Lipe Beach, Koh Lanta Beaches, Koh Phi Phi Island, Phang Nga Bay. Southern Thailand’s islands are not to be missed—especially during the legendary Full Moon Party.
