Cash or Credit Card

Thai Baht (THB) is the official currency used in Thailand. It is available in both coin and banknote forms. While credit cards are accepted at department stores, some convenient stores, and restaurants, it’s essential to note that many places do not accept credit cards, making it essential to have cash on hand.

There is a requirement to carry a minimum amount of money not less than 10,000 baht per person or 20,000 baht per family to entry to Thailand.

In Thailand, there are no restrictions on the amount of thai or foreign currency tourists can bring into or take out of the country. However, if the total value exceeds $20,000 U.S. dollars or its equivalent, it is mandatory to declare the foreign currency to the customs officer when passing through the customs checkpoint. Failure to declare or providing incorrect information may lead to legal consequences.

In Thailand, the commonly accepted credit card brands are Visa and Mastercard. Furthermore, certain stores also accommodate JCB, UnionPay, American Express, and Diners Club. It's advisable to verify with the store prior to making a payment. Additionally, be sure to check the fee rates before using your credit card.
