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.
