currency

the unit of currency in Thailand is "Baht", which is pronounced "ba" in English. At present, the RMB in 1 yuan is about 4-4.5 baht. Ways to obtain Thai baht:

1. Direct purchase in China is the highest exchange rate. Bank of China can buy Thai baht directly, but it is not available in all business halls or at all times.

2. Withdraw Thai baht directly from the bank card at the ATM with the UnionPay logo. The exchange rate is calculated according to the selling price of Thai baht announced by Bank of China on the same day, but the issuing bank will charge a certain handling fee.

3. Buy euros, dollars or Hong Kong dollars in China and then convert them into Thai baht in Thailand. Two exchanges will produce a certain exchange rate loss. Generally speaking, the exchange rate of banks will be slightly lower than that of street exchange shops.

4. In Thailand, RMB is directly exchanged, and the exchange rate is very low. Chinatown in Bangkok may be a little better.

unionpay in Thailand has more than 2, POS machines in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Puji Island, Pattaya, etc., which can be swiped by unionpay credit cards, and over 8, ATMs such as Kasikorn Bank, TMB Military Bank and SCIB Bank in Thailand can directly withdraw Thai baht by unionpay cards.

2. Credit cards are limited by the credit limit, which may result in high expenses caused by exceeding the credit limit. It is recommended to use a savings card for large consumption;

3. To withdraw cash at ATM, you need to enter the withdrawal password. Please confirm the correctness of your password before traveling to Thailand.

4. Please enter the password when swiping the card, regardless of debit card or credit card; If the card has no password, please press confirm directly;

5. Some stores or ATMs may not have posted the "UnionPay" logo at present, so it is recommended that you take the initiative to ask the cashier or bank service personnel in the store.
