Buy before you fly
Benefits of planning ahead
Buying your Thai Baht in advance means you’ll be able to pay for transport – including tips for taxi drivers – and food and drink easily, as soon as you arrive.
Taking Thai Baht with you means you can relax and focus on enjoying your holiday without having to worry about finding a cash machine. It’s also important to remember that ATMs in Thailand may charge you a fee if you withdraw Thai Baht when you are there.
Exchange rates can fluctuate. When you buy your currency in advance, it means you can be sure of what rate you are getting. If you withdraw cash while you are away, you may not get the same exchange rate.
Get your currency when it’s convenient for you
Use Click & Collect and arrange to pick up your Thai Baht as part of your weekly shop, either from a Tesco Travel Money bureau or selected customer service desks. Or, you could try our home delivery service – free on all online orders of £500 or over.
Exchange rates can change throughout the day and will vary depending on whether you are buying in store, online or over the phone.
Handy information about Thai Baht (THB)
Thai Baht fast facts
- Cash machines in Thailand charge per transaction, not including your home bank’s fee for international cash withdrawals, so it’s worth checking the cost before you use them.
- 1, 5 and 10 Satang are rarely seen in circulation and many small shops do not accept them.
Currency denominations
Thai Baht Satang: 1 Satang, 5 Satang, 10 Satang, 25 Satang, 50 Satang
Thai Baht: 1฿, 2฿, 5฿, 10฿, 20฿, 50฿, 100฿, 500฿, 1000฿
Remember, you can exchange any leftover Baht notes when you arrive home, although you might not be able to exchange smaller Baht denominations and Satang coins.
If you’ve got any Thai Baht left over after your trip, you can exchange notes of 20฿ or more at Tesco Travel Money bureaux. When purchasing Baht, remember that we only sell denominations of 100฿ or more.
