The
Thai Baht is a fairly strong and stable currency only fluctating
when there is serious financial or political instability in
the country with the latter having a lesser effect than the
former. Credit cards and debit cards can only be used in the
larger hotels and shopping malls so that Thailand still relies
largely on a cash economy - under no circumstances should birders
venturing off the beaten track think that will be able to get
by with a credit card - you will not.
Cash machines from Thailand's leading banks are widely available,
however, and birders are not normally too far away from one
at a fuel station or large village. Birders should carry cash
on them at all times to ensure that payment for hotels, food
and drink etc can be made. This currency converter can be used
to calculate the value of the Thai Baht to whatever currency
you are used to using.
