Buy Thai Baht<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Buy Forex Card<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Travelling abroad is always a mental exercise in planning and money management. When travelling to Thailand, the questions are endless. How much Thai Baht you should carry as cash? Should you carry a credit card? Should you exchange money before or after going to Thailand? But don\u2019t worry. This guide is here to help you. We have all the answers to your doubts on carrying money when going to Thailand from India. Take a look at our 5-point strategy to take money to Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

5 Point Strategy To Take Money To Thailand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Convert Indian Rupee to Thai Baht in India itself, with least currency exchange fees<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Converting your Indian Rupee to Thai Baht in India itself is your best bet. That is if you are looking to save money on currency exchange, simply head to our online foreign exchange portal, extravelmoney.com<\/a>. Compare the exchange rate of buying Thai Baht<\/a> as cash and Forex card from banks and money changers in your city. Once you find the best rate, book the transaction online, and get your card and currency delivered the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ExTravelMoney has a special agreement with forex vendors to serve forex orders through the portal at market-beating exchange rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro Tip:<\/strong> Avoid exchanging currency at the airport as it is the worst place to do it. The currency exchange counters that you see in airports charge high exchange rates and service fees. The cost of real estate to set up shop in airports is really high and thus forex vendors in airports charge high rates to maintain their business.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
2. Carry 30% of your total planned expense as cash, carry the rest 70% in forex card<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"A\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Forex cards are a good way to carry money abroad. Since Thailand is a global tourist destination, the country is well-developed in digital payments. Load 70% of the total money as Thai Baht currency in your Forex card. When shopping, dining, booking hotels or flights in Thailand, you can use your Forex card to pay online or to swipe at PoS counters there. Since Thai Baht is already loaded on your card, there will be no currency conversion charges like in the case of credit\/debit cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, when travelling in Thailand, you\u2019ll need cash to pay in a few places like markets, for tuk-tuks (autos), songthaews (local buses) and at the street food joint you badly want to try out. Thus it’s advisable to carry 30% of your total expense as cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have apprehensions on carrying so much cash on you, then carry at least the cash required for 2-3 days of your stay there. The rest you can withdraw from your forex card at ATMs as and when required (This has its own set of drawbacks which we\u2019ll discuss by the end of this post).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attention! <\/strong>

The Bank of Thailand has an app called \u201cThai Banknotes\u201d to prevent travellers and other people from ending up with counterfeit Thai banknotes.
The app provides the necessary information for any person to correctly identify original notes and spot fake notes. While the money changers present in ExTravelMoney\u2019s online forex platform are licensed by RBI to perform money-changing activities, we can\u2019t say the same for others.If you are buying Thai baht from other sources, this app could be helpful to you in making sure the notes you receive are genuine.\u201cThai Banknotes\u201d is available both on the iOS<\/a> and Android<\/a> platforms.<\/p><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
3. Don\u2019t opt for travellers cheques<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"sample<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t buy a traveller\u2019s cheque thinking the exchange rates are better. They are a thing of the past now and rarely used. Most businesses don’t accept a traveller\u2019s cheque. Even some banks don\u2019t accept them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So it\u2019d be better if you entirely skip this mode of taking money to Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
4. Use credit\/debit as backup<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"a\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Credit and debit cards when used abroad can take a big chunk of money as card usage abroad and currency conversion charges. So usually it\u2019s best to stay off them. However, there are cases where your Forex card might not be working due to a technical error. It\u2019s good to carry your international transactions enabled credit\/debit card as a backup in such cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
5. Use ATMs Sparingly<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"A\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
In Thailand, every time you go to an ATM to withdraw money, you are going to face significant losses. 200-300 Thai Baht is the usual fee for ATM withdrawals. That is nearly INR 500-760 at today\u2019s exchange rate (21\/03\/2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are withdrawing money from ATMs twice a day to supplant your need for cash, a one-week ATM withdrawal fee itself would cost you at least Rs 7,000!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So use ATMs sparingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pro Tip :<\/strong> Don\u2019t put all your eggs in one basket! If you are travelling abroad in a group, it\u2019s best for all the members of the group to carry money equally. Also split the cash, with some in your wallet and some in your bag.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s take a look at some frequently asked questions regarding money matters when travelling to Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1.      What currency should we take to Thailand?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Thai Baht is the legal tender of Thailand. You need to carry Thai Baht currency for your expenses there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2.     Can you withdraw money from ATMs in Thailand?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Yes, you can withdraw money from ATMs in Thailand. Most ATMs have a flat withdrawal fee of a minimum of 200 Thai Baht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3.     Minimum funds required to enter Thailand in 2025?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Individuals with a tourist visa from India are required to prove that they possess sufficient funds amounting to at least THB 10,000 per individual or THB 20,000 per family.1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n
4.     How much money can we bring to Thailand when going from India?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Travellers going to Thailand can carry foreign currency maximum up to USD 20,000 or its equivalent without declaration at customs. Similarly, for Thai Baht currency it is THB 50,000 without declaration.2<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n
5.     How much money do you need for a 1-week Thai trip?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
A budget trip just covering food and hotel stays in Thailand for a week can easily offset you by Rs 35,000 to Rs 70,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6.     Are US Dollars accepted in Thailand?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes yes, in touristy areas or 5-star hotels, you might be able to use US Dollars. However, even in rare cases when it is accepted, these places offer poor exchange rates. So if you are travelling in Thailand it is better to use the Thai Baht for payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7.     Should I exchange money before I travel to Thailand?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s better to exchange your Indian Rupee for Thai Baht before travelling as you\u2019ll get better exchange rates. Also, you\u2019ll immediately have cash in hand after landing there without needing to stand in queues at the currency exchange counter in the airport. Also, airport currency exchange is really costly as they charge high exchange rates and service fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.    Can we use our debit or credit card in Thailand?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Yes, you can use your international transactions enabled credit\/debit card in Thailand. Make sure to inform the bank of your travel abroad. This is because sometimes banks will block your card as part of their safety measures when they see card usage abroad, without receiving any prior notice. This is to prevent fraud and theft of funds in your card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
