Pictures of all Thailand currency can be found in the Thailand Currency Gallery
The Baht is the currency in Thailand and is found in the following denominations:
20 Baht note Green
50 Baht note Blue
100 Baht note Red
500 Baht note Purple
1000 baht note Brown
25 Satang coin small brass coin
50 Satang coin small brass coin
1 Baht coin silver and slightly larger than a US cent
5 Baht coin silver & slightly smaller than the 10 Baht coin
10 Baht coin silver ring with a brass center
There are also 1,5, and 10 Satang coins you will occasionally run into along with the 25 and 50 Satang coins but normally you’ll only get these as change in a supermarket, chain stores, or sometimes a seven eleven. Most other places deal in whole baht denominations. If you do find yourself with a pocketful of Satang you’ll probably be bringing some home as souvenirs.
All Thai currency has the image of the king on it. It’s considered disrespectful to keep Thai money in your back pocket as you would be sitting on the king. Likewise if you should drop a note or coin don’t step on it to stop it as that is very disrespectful.
