Can you use Australian Dollars in Thailand?
While Thailand welcomes tourists, Australian Dollars are not accepted locally. You’ll need to convert your AUD to Thai Baht to pay for markets, restaurants, transportation, and attractions. Withdrawing cash in advance or using a travel money card is recommended.
Where is the Thai Baht Accepted
The Thai Baht is used across Thailand, including Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Koh Samui, and other islands. Thailand relies heavily on cash, especially in markets, street stalls, and rural areas, so having foreign cash on hand is essential.

Buying Thai Baht in Australia

Where is the best place to buy THB?

If you’re planning your Thai adventure, having Thai Baht (THB) ready from the moment you land in Bangkok, Phuket, or other cities can make your trip smoother and more cost-effective. There are several ways to buy Thai Baht in Australia, each with advantages depending on your needs, travel style, and budget.

  • Online: Buy Thai Baht online and choose home delivery or click and collect.
  • In-store: Quick pick-up with ID, great for last-minute travel.

What is the Cheapest Way to Buy Thai Baht?

In Australia, for amounts up to AUD 5,000, it is often cheaper to buy Thai Baht online. For larger amounts, visiting a city currency exchange store can give you the chance to negotiate rates in person.

The key to getting the best deal is to compare your options for buying foreign currency in cash. Don’t just check the exchange rate, consider service fees, delivery fees, and any hidden charges that can affect the total cost.

Here are 5 popular ways to buy Thai Baht in Australia:

  1. Buying online – If you want to buy THB in cash, you can place an order online. You’ll need to provide ID, and most online services allow home delivery or click and collect. Online money changers like S Money often offer the best exchange rates.
  2. In-store – Picking up your THB in person is fast and convenient. Simply bring your ID, and it’s a good idea to call ahead to check rates and availability. City stores in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth are usually the most competitive.
  3. Overseas – Sometimes buying Thai Baht in Thailand can be cheaper if you’re already travelling. Major cities like Bangkok or Chiang Mai have competitive money changers, but this is best if you need extra cash after arriving.
  4. International money transfers – If you’re sending money from Australia to Thailand, services like Wise or OFX are a cost-effective way to convert AUD to THB. These are often cheaper than using traditional banks.
  5. Travel money cards – Prepaid travel cards like Wise, Revolut, or 28 Degrees often provide better rates and lower fees than traditional bank-issued cards, helping you manage your travel money safely.
