Currency The
currency in Thailand is the Baht, which comes
in notes of 20 (green) 50 (blue), 100 (red),
500 (purple) and 1000 (grey). The larger the
denomination the larger the note
Coins include denominations
of 10, 5, 2 and 1 baht. All paper
denominations bear the image of the king and
should be handled with respect
All major currencies and
travellers checks can be exchanged in nearly
all places
Visa and Mastercard holders can get a cash
advance from banks, also ATMs accepting debit
and credit cards are widely
available
Passports and
Visas Thailand tries to make things
easy for visitors. Most foreign passport
holders are issued on arrival with a stamp
granting a 30-day stay. This is the case for
most European passport holders
There are a few nationalities
though who must obtain a visa in advance of
arrival, so check first with your nearest Thai
Embassy or Consulate
Note: If you plan to stay longer than 30 days
then you will need to apply for a tourist visa
before coming to Thailand
