Thailand, with a population of around 70.33 million people, has a GDP of approximately 546.22 billion making it the 30th largest economy in the world. The official currency of Thailand is the Thai Baht (THB)
The economy is driven by manufacturing (automotive, electronics), tourism, and agricultural exports. It is a founding member of ASEAN and APEC, maintaining strong economic relationships with China, Japan, and the United States.
The Thai payment system has been transformed by PromptPay, a government-backed real-time transfer service that has made QR code payments ubiquitous, allowing payments and transfers using just a phone number or citizen ID. Physical cash, the Baht, is still very common, especially at street markets and for transport. E-wallets like TrueMoney and Rabbit LINE Pay are also popular for convenience store payments, bill payments, and transportation.
Whatever you need to buy during your trip, whether it’s a travel adapter, train ticket or an extra bottle of sunscreen, the Wise Multi-Currency Card has you covered.
