The baht (/bɑːt/; Thai: บาท, pronounced [bàːt]; sign: ฿; code: THB) is the official currency of Thailand. It is divided into 100 satang (สตางค์, pronounced [sà.tāːŋ]). Prior to decimalisation, the baht was divided into eight fueang (เฟื้อง, pronounced [fɯá̯ŋ]), each of eight at (อัฐ, pronounced [ʔat̚]). The issuance of currency is the responsibility of the Bank of Thailand. SWIFT ranked the Thai baht as the 10th-most-frequently used world payment currency as of December 2023.^[1]

History

The Thai baht, like the pound, originated from a traditional unit of mass. Its currency value was originally expressed as that of silver of corresponding weight (now defined as 15 grams), and was in use probably as early as the Sukhothai period in the form of bullet coins known in Thai as photduang.^[2] These were pieces of solid silver cast to various weights corresponding to a traditional system of units related by simple fractions and multiples, one of which is the baht. These are listed in the following table:^[3]^[4] Though the coins themselves have names like: solot, siao, phai, etc, the formal division of the Thai baht/tical is 1 baht = 8 fueang = 64 at. This means that one baht is divided into eight fueang, and each one fueang is divided into 8 at. Currently, the Thai baht do not employ the at as a subunit, but the at is the current subunit of the Lao kip.

This predecimal system was in use up until 1897, when the decimal system devised by Prince Jayanta Mongkol, in which one baht = 100 satang, was introduced by his half-brother King Chulalongkorn along with the demonetization of silver bullet coins on 28 October 1904 after the end of silver bullet coin production by the opening of Sitthikarn Royal Mint in 1857.^[5] However, coins denominated in the old units were issued until 1910, and the amount of 25 satang is still commonly referred to as a salueng, as is the 25-satang coin.

Until 27 November 1902, the baht was fixed on a purely silver basis, with 15 grams of silver to the baht. This caused the value of the currency to vary relative to currencies on a gold standard. From 1856 to 1864, the values of certain foreign silver coins were fixed by law, with 5 baht = 3 Spanish dollar = 7 Indian rupees.^[6] Before 1880 the exchange rate was fixed at 8 baht per pound sterling, falling to 10 to the pound during the 1880s.

In 1902, the government began to increase the value of the baht by following all increases in the value of silver against gold but not reducing it when the silver price fell. Beginning at 21.75 baht per pound sterling, the currency rose in value until, in 1908, a fixed peg to the British pound sterling was established of 13 baht per pound. This was revised to 12 baht in 1919 and then, after a period of instability, to 11 baht in 1923. During World War II, the baht was fixed at a value of one Japanese yen on 22 April 1942.^[7]^[8]

From 1956 until 1973, the baht was pegged to the US dollar at an exchange rate of 20.8 baht = one dollar and at 20 baht = 1 dollar until 1978.^[9] ^[10] A strengthening US economy caused Thailand to re-peg its currency at 25 to the dollar from 1984 until 2 July 1997, when the country was affected by the 1997 Asian financial crisis. The baht was floated and halved in value, reaching its lowest rate of 56 to the dollar in January 1998. It rose to 30 per dollar in January 2021.

The baht was originally known to foreigners by the term tical,^[11] which was used in English language text on banknotes until the series 2 1925.^[12]^[13]

Currency symbol

The currency symbol for the baht is ฿ (a latin letter B with a vertical stroke). In 1986, this symbol was given a codepoint for computer use in the Thai Industrial Standard 620-2533 (Thailand's extension of ASCII), at position 0xDF. This national standard was subsequently subsumed into international standards as ISO/IEC 8859-11 ("ISO Latin-Thai"). In turn, the ISO 8859 series were transposed into the Unicode standard,^[14] where the symbol was allocated the codepoint U+0E3F ฿ THAI CURRENCY SYMBOL BAHT.^[15] The symbol is also used for the Panamanian balboa.^[16]

Abbreviation

In Thai usage, the baht (บาท) is legally abbreviated as บ. according to Section 7 of the Currency Act, B.E. 2501.^[17]

Bitcoin

For a time, the baht symbol was appropriated by some as a symbol for Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency. Following representations,^[18] a separate code point (U+20BF ₿ BITCOIN SIGN, a latin letter B with two vertical strokes) was allocated in Unicode version 10.0.^[19]

Square katakana

This article contains special characters. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols.

In Unicode 1.0, two codepoints were allocated to the baht, one as the currency symbol in the Thai range and one in the CJK Compatibility block as a square version of the Japanese word for "baht", written in katakana script.^[20] The CJK codepoint, U+332C ㌬ SQUARE PAATU, is documented in subsequent versions of the standard as "a mistaken, unused representation" and users are directed to U+0E3F ฿ THAI CURRENCY SYMBOL BAHT instead.^[21] Consequently, only a few computer fonts have any content for this codepoint and its use is deprecated.^[20]

(The Japanese for "baht" is バーツ (bātsu). However, the reference glyph ⟨㌬⟩ and the character name correspond to パーツ (pātsu, from English "parts").^[20])

Historical symbols used before decimalization

Before decimalization, the Siamese government employed Chinese, Latin, Jawi (Malay), Devanagari, Khmer and Khom, Lanna, and Burmese scripts in banknotes and coins, as seen. The reason is not clear, though it is a common understanding that it is to ease the facilicitation of trade within Siam. It could also be the case that at the time, the capital, Bangkok (Phra Nakhon) was still a multi-cultural city, so as to be more inclusive, the government added various other language onto the currency - though by the second series after the decimalization in the 1900s, the currency was all but monolingual.

圓; yuán (บาท): This character was use during the times of Rama IV to represent baht, though this was phased out by another character which is in partially and informally used today. The only occurrence of this character was in Rama IV's banknote series.

銖; 铢; zhū (บาท): This character was in use from 1868–1925 officially on banknotes to represent baht. It is unofficially in use today to refer to the Thai baht in general, as in 泰銖 or 泰铢.

錢; 銭; qián (สลึง): This character was in use from 1851–1908 officially on banknotes and coins to represent salueng.

方; fāng (เฟื้อง): This character was in use from 1851–1908 officially on banknotes and coins to represent fueang.

The notation for these chinese character are written like they are in Thai, though there is a caveat: it is written right to left, as was the convention back then, so one baht is written 圓壹 or 銖壹, if there are smaller units involved the notation can write like such: 方銭參圓壹 for one baht, three salueng, and one fueang.

Photduang coinage

Example of the spanish dollar which was marked with the Siamese government's emblem - marking that it is legal tender.

Cowrie shells from the Mekong River had been used as currency for small amounts since the Sukhothai period. Before 1860, Thailand did not produce coins using modern methods. Instead, a so-called "bullet" coinage was used, consisting of bars of metal, thicker in the middle, bent round to form a complete circle on which identifying marks were stamped.^[22]^[23] Denominations issued included 1⁄128, 1⁄64, 1⁄32, 1⁄16, 1⁄8, 1⁄2, 1, 1+1⁄2, 2, 2+1⁄2, 4, 4+1⁄2, 8, 10, 20, 40 and 80 baht in silver and 1⁄32, 1⁄16, 1⁄8, 1⁄2, 1, 1+1⁄2, 2 and 4 baht in gold. One gold baht was generally worth 16 silver baht. Between 1858 and 1860, foreign trade coins were also stamped by the government for use in Thailand.

Sukhothai and Ayutthaya photduang

Photduang, a form of currency used during the Sukhothai period, was characterized by its longer legs, which created a larger and wider hole in the middle. These coins were primarily made of silver and featured a cut across the front of each leg. This cut served a dual purpose: it authenticated the money and allowed for the quality of the silver to be tested. Over time, as the Sukhothai Kingdom declined and became a vassal state of Ayutthaya—which was established as the capital in 1350—the design of photduang evolved. The coins became rounder with shorter legs, and the central hole, while still present, grew smaller. By the end of this era, the hole disappeared completely. The cuts on the legs also reduced in size and were eventually replaced by a small elliptical nick, known as "Met Kao San," on one side of the coin.^[24]

Thonburi and Rattanakosin photduang

The Thonburi period (1767–1782) and the Rattanakosin period, beginning in 1782, adopted the photduang design from the late Ayutthaya period. The coins from these periods had no central hole, and the legs were even shorter. A key difference was that Thonburi photduang lacked the elliptical nick, whereas the Rattanakosin coins reintroduced this feature, similar to the Ayutthaya coins. Photduang from these later periods typically featured two stamped marks: the dynasty mark on top and the king's personal mark on the front part. The dynasty mark often symbolized the kingdom's ruling dynasty, while the king's personal mark represented the reigning monarch.^[24]

Markings on the photduang

The markings on photduang coins varied across different periods. During the Sukhothai era, some coins bore no marks, while others had up to 11. This variation was because, at that time, individuals and merchants could produce their own money. However, from the Ayutthaya period onward, the production of photduang was monopolized by the government, making it easier to identify coins from each era. Ayutthaya photduang typically bore two marks: the dynasty mark, which could be a spoked wheel symbolizing the "Wheel of Law" from Buddhist teachings or the Chakra (Vishnu's weapon), represented by a pattern of 8 dots surrounding a central dot. The king's personal mark varied with each ruler and included symbols such as a conch shell, a Garuda bird (khrut), an elephant, and an anchor, each symbolizing different aspects of the king's reign or divine associations.^[24]

Predecimal coinage

Rama III (1824–1851) was the first king to consider the use of a flat coin. He did so not for the convenience of traders, but because he was disturbed that the creatures living in the cowrie shells were killed. When he learned of the use of flat copper coins in Singapore in 1835, he contacted a Scottish trader, who had two types of experimental coins struck in England. The king rejected both designs. The name of the country put on these first coins was Muang Thai, not Siam.^[27]^[28]

In 1860, modern style coins were introduced. These were silver 1 sik, 1 fuang, 1 and 2 salung, 1, 2 and 4 baht, with the baht weighing 15.244 grams and the others weight-related. Tin 1 solot and 1 at followed in 1862, with gold 2+1⁄2, 4 and 8 baht introduced in 1863 and copper 2 and 4 at in 1865. Copper replaced tin in the 1 solot and 1 at in 1874, with copper 4 at introduced in 1876. The last gold coins were struck in 1895.

Coin timeline

Issue 1 - 1856 (transitional)

The first issue of coins were commissioned by Rama IV, though it was never brought into circulation. This was one of the first attempt to replace the bullet coins, but few were ever minted without making it into circulation.^[29]

Issue 2 - 1860

The first circulating issue of the Siamese coins. This marks the start of the move away from using photduang currency. Though in this era, the photduang are still legal tender. In this series, the lower denominations are made of silver, and the higher ones are made of gold. These higher denominations are given nicknames: Paddueng, Pit, and Tot. Paddueng means thirty two, as in 1/32 of a chang, the other nick name is the chinkang or one chinese tamlueng.^[30] The pit means twenty, as in 1/20 of a chang, the other name is ekkang, or one thai tamlueng.^[31] The tot means ten, as in 1/10 of a chang, the coin is also called thukkang, which means two tamlueng.^[32] In the lower denominations materials such as tin, copper and brass are used, since these are quite low value.

Issue 3 - 1875

The first series to depict king Rama V, this issue coins are made of copper, silver, and gold. Though, gold is strangely only used in the 1 fueang denomination.^[33] The new shield emblem is introduced in this issue. This shield is separated into three section, drawing from western influences, symbols within these sections represents territories Siam is controlling. The tree headed elephant represents Siamese territory, the bottom-left elephant represent Lan Xang, and the warangka represents Siamese Malaya.

Decimal coinage

The decimalization of the Thai baht came about at the end of the 19th century. The minister of treasury, Jayanta Mongkol, the Prince Mahisara Rajaharudaya, suggested to King Rama V, that decimalization would make counting easier and further modernize Siam. Initially, there would be one superunit, chang, and subunit, at. with the baht being in the middle. In summary, 64 at = 1 baht = 1/80 chang. In reality, this was just a simplification of the old system, which was scrapped.^[34] In which, during the period of 1902–1908, Siam went back to the old system. Though in comparison, at is used as the subunit in Laos, compared to the satang in the Thai baht. The second attempt came at the end of Rama V's reign, where it was more widely accepted and put into effective use.

In 1897, the first coins denominated in satang were introduced, cupronickel 2+1⁄2, 5, 10 and 20 satang. However, 1 solot, 1 and 2 at coins were struck until 1905 and 1 fueang coins were struck until 1910. In 1908, holed 1, 5 and 10 satang coins were introduced, with the 1 satang in bronze and the 5 and 10 satang in nickel. The 1 and 2 salueng were replaced by 25 and 50 satang coins in 1915. In 1937, holed, bronze 1⁄2 satang were issued.

In 1941, a series of silver coins was introduced in denominations of 5, 10 and 20 satang, due to a shortage of nickel caused by World War II. The next year, tin coins were introduced for 1, 5 and 10 satang, followed by 20 satang in 1945 and 25 and 50 satang in 1946. In 1950, aluminium bronze 5, 10, 25 and 50 satang were introduced whilst, in 1957, bronze 5 and 10 satang were issued, along with 1-baht coins struck in an unusual alloy of copper, nickel, silver and zinc. Several Thai coins were issued for many years without changing the date. These include the tin 1942 1 satang and the 1950 5 and 10 satang, struck until 1973, the tin 1946 25 satang struck until 1964, the tin 50 satang struck until 1957, and the aluminium bronze 1957 5, 10, 25 and 50 satang struck until the 1970s. Cupronickel 1-baht coins were introduced in 1962 and struck without date change until 1982.

In 1972, cupronickel 5-baht coins were introduced, switching to cupronickel-clad copper in 1977. Between 1986 and 1988, a new coinage was introduced, consisting of aluminium 1, 5 and 10 satang, aluminium bronze 25 and 50 satang, cupronickel 1 baht, cupronickel-clad copper 5 baht and bimetallic 10 baht. Cupronickel-clad steel 2 baht were introduced in 2005.

Current coinage

The current coin series is the 14th issue.

In 2008, in the 13th issue, the Ministry of Finance and the Royal Thai Mint announced the 2009 coin series, which included changes in materials to reduce production costs as well as an update of the image on the obverse to a more recent portrait of the king. The two-baht coin, confusingly similar in color and size to the one-baht coin, was changed from nickel-clad low-carbon steel to aluminium bronze. New two-baht coin was the first of the new series released on 3 February 2009, followed by the satang coins in April, a five-baht coin in May, a ten-baht coin in June, and a one-baht coin in July 2009.

In 2018, the Royal Thai Mint and the Ministry of Finance issued a new series of general circulation coins, featuring the same standard specifications, but feature a portrait of its current king, Vajiralongkorn.

Remarks

The 1, 5 and 10 satang are used only internally between banks and are not in circulation.^[35]
Older coins, some of which are still in circulation, had only Thai numerals, but newer designs also have Arabic numerals.
The standard-issue 10-baht coin has, at the 12 o'clock position on the reverse, raised dots corresponding to Braille cell dot 1 and dots 2-4-5, which correspond to the number 10.
10-baht coins are very similar to 2-euro coins in size, shape and weight, and are likewise bi-metallic, although they are worth only 25 eurocents. Vending machines not equipped with up-to-date coin detectors might therefore accept them as €2 coins or old Italian 500 lira coins as well.^[36]
Many commemorative 1-, 2-, 5- and 10-baht coins have been made for special events. There also are 20-, 50-, 100-baht base metal commemorative coins and higher-denomination precious metal coins as well.^[which?]

In February 2010 the Treasury Department of Thailand stated that it has been planning a new circulation 20-baht coin.^[37]

Money and unit of mass

Ngoen (เงิน) is Thai for "silver" as well as the general term for money, reflecting the fact that the baht (or tical) is foremost a unit of weight for precious metals and gemstones. One baht = 15.244 grams.^[68] Since the standard purity of Thai gold is 96.5 percent, the actual gold content of one baht by weight is 15.244 × 0.965 = 14.71046 grams; equivalent to about 0.473 troy ounces. 15.244 grams is used for bullion; in the case of jewellery, one baht should be more than 15.16 grams.

Exchange rates

The Bank of Thailand adopted a series of exchange controls on 19 December 2006, which resulted in a significant divergence between offshore and onshore exchange rates, with spreads of up to 10 percent between the two markets. Controls were broadly lifted on 3 March 2008 and there is now no significant difference between offshore and onshore exchange rates.^[70]
